There is a wire on the back side for hanging

But the crossing of the two blooms and intertwining of their delicately painted stems and leaves also makes it feel like a love token--a happy wedding of two two different sorts

I believe it was made to hold three small pots from the two undulating horizontal wires that run across the center

Brilliant Collapsible Crate in Old Red Paint drawings of 1880s estates There is a wire onI love this thing and as I am often loading up the car with fragile things, it strikes me as an especially handy one, too, folding up flat and so taking up no space when not needed. Plus this terrific old dark red paint, which makes it feel a bit like a red brick wall when collapsed! Terrific patina, very sturdy, easy to open and then to collapse. A good one for housing a huge stash of wooden blocks, or some firewood, or the laundry! Nice. 14 1 16" l
