Vintage French olive picker’s hods—a piece that speaks to the age-old traditions of Mediterranean agriculture and the timeless rhythm of the olive harvest. This particular hod, dating back to the 1930s, embodies the rustic charm and practicality that have defined French countryside tools for generations.

A Hod with a Story

In the sun-drenched olive groves of France, harvesters relied on sturdy, well-crafted hods to gather the season's bounty.

The wear and weathering it has acquired over decades add to its authentic appeal, making it not just a tool, but a piece of history.
