FABULOUS Antique VICTORIAN Wicker FLOOR Sewing Basket Box Chest RARE!

Description

This is an absolutely
FANTASTIC
antique Victorian wicker sewing basket from the 1800's which is a real
PIECE OF FURNITURE!
It is more than likely
ONE OF A KIND!
It is
HEAVY
for what it is and has two strong handles. The wicker is painted white and has so many
INTRICATE
designs in it that it is
UNBELIEVABLE!
(I don't know what the different designs are called.)
In all the 40 years I have been doing antiques I have NEVER seen anything like it!
It has a large deep compartment on top with a lid with a latch (solid wood floor to it) and underneath is an open compartment with a wicker floor. Piece measures 27" tall to the top of the handles and 25 3/4" to the top of the closed top compartment. It is 22 1/4"handle to handle. The covered top compartment measures 16 1/2" by 14" deep. Inside is approximately 16" by 13 1/2" and 5 1/4" deep.  The bottom open area measures approximately 13 1/2" by 11" and is 3" deep. No maker's mark. Good condition with just a little wicker missing from one of the handles and one strand separated on the lid.  Paint chipped in a few places but not bad.
GORGEOUS
piece of furniture that would garner many compliments for you!
A real
TREASURE
from the past!
