A Victorian industrial basket, woven in willow with rope handles at either end and a metal bar across the lid that locks the contents inside. It sits on wheels and the frame has been built up and reinforced, so it stands firm and takes weight without give.

We love this as a blanket box at the foot of a bed for storing spare bedding and throws or as a low side table beside a sofa or chair.

One of a kind, with the wear and colour of long working use, and yours to look after next.
