Baskets, crates and trunks

Combinations built to be opened in front of people.

Every basket is packed by hand in the atelier on the day it ships, with a ledger card listing the farm, harvest and chef behind each jar, and a hand-written note in your words. Baskets can be built at any price point — if you want something other than the four below, tell us the number and the occasion and we will build it.

Gear & Merchandise

Walnut Serving Board — Aeternus house gear

Walnut Serving Board

End-grain black walnut, brass corner caps, finished in food-safe oil and beeswax.

40 × 30 × 4 cm and heavy enough to stay put. End grain closes around a knife edge instead of scarring, so it keeps its face for decades. Re-oil twice a year.

$225
Brass Preserve Service — Aeternus house gear

Brass Preserve Service

Long spoon, spreader and pickle fork in solid unlacquered brass.

Cast and hand-finished, unlacquered so they patina with use. The long spoon reaches the bottom of a tall jar without your knuckles going in after it.

$160
Grippy Jar Opener — Aeternus house gear

Grippy Jar Opener

Rust-red silicone disc with the house emblem embossed deep enough to bite.

Dishwasher safe, heat resistant to 230°C, and it doubles as a trivet. Genuinely opens a wax-sealed jar without a knife or a scene.

$30
Waxed Cap & Linen Apron — Aeternus house gear

Waxed Cap & Linen Apron

Charcoal waxed-canvas six-panel cap with brass emblem, and a natural linen apron.

The cap is waxed cotton canvas with a brass adjuster. The apron is heavy washed linen with a cross-back strap and a deep double pocket. Both soften with use.
