Antique French willow market basket c1870

Antique French willow market or field basket c1860 to 1880. This antique basket is one of the strongest we have ever seen. It is woven of heavy thick willow. Two wooden slats bolted to the base keep it perfectly stable and off the floor. These two wooden braces are original to the basket. It measures 24 inches across the top, 20 and one half inches high. Across the bottom on the inside, it measures 14 and one half inches. Excellent original condition with a deep rich old patina. It would make an ideal container for logs and kindling next to a fireplace.

Thank you for your quick reply. I am really shocked at the price. I knew many people here wanted it, but probably figured I didn't know what I had and they wanted to buy it for nothing. I am glad I held on to it.
Thanks again!
