Chateau Villaret French Antique Champagne Barrel or Planter, Circa 1920s
About the Item
Wooden barrels similar to this one from circa the 1920s were often used at vineyards to store picked grapes. Typically, workers would gather grapes from the vineyard in a metal bin that was worn on their backs, known as a grape hotte. The contents of the hotte would then be transferred to wooden barrels such as ours.
A stylized coat of arms has been painted more recently on the front of the dark brown barrel. Framed by the four iron bands that bind the barrel is a heraldic display accompanied by the phrases “Chateau Villaret” and “Champagne”, both in hues of white (Chateau Villaret is a 12th-century castle in Allenc, France). The coat of arms consists of a red escutcheon with a “V” beneath a fleur de lys, both in gold. A five-point open crown, also gold, tops the shield, which is flanked by two rampant lion supporters in white. The letters “G R” have also been painted in green on the back, beneath one of the iron handles used to transport the barrel. Our Chateau Villaret barrel can be used as an indoor planter for a faux tree. It would also make a unique umbrella stand or firewood holder.
