An antique English wicker trunk, sturdily woven with a time-softened surface and secured by a leather strap closure. What makes this piece particularly unique is the woven leather reinforcement along the rim—a detail rarely found on baskets of this type, speaking to both its craftsmanship and intended durability. Historically, baskets like this served as indispensable carriers in English households and markets through the 19th and early 20th centuries, holding laundry, linens, produce, or provisions bound for travel. The willow has aged beautifully, with rich tonal variations from years of handling and use, while the leather accents add both strength and character. A piece that bridges utility and history, it remains just as practical today for storing throws, firewood, or everyday essentials, while offering a distinctive presence in any room.
