Antique French Bottle carriers & Bottle trees
A collection page of Chez Pluie
About
French bottle carriers and vintage wine racks reflect the culture of wine service and storage that has long been central to French dining. Our collection brings together original bottle carriers, baskets, racks, and bottle trees selected for craftsmanship, material integrity, and practical design. The selection includes traditional wirework bottle carriers intended for transporting wine to the table, vintage racks designed to store and display bottles, and bottle trees, often referred to as “hedgehogs,” used historically for drying bottles and glassware. These pieces were made to be durable and functional, and their simple forms allow the structure of the metalwork to remain visible and expressive. Each item is carefully measured, clearly documented, and professionally photographed, with condition noted. Stock availability is maintained in real time. All pieces ship directly from France and are packed using methods developed for transporting antique metal and glass accessories. Bottle carriers and racks integrate naturally into kitchens, dining rooms, and cellars, where they offer practical storage and presentation while complementing other wine-related antiques and tableware .
