Large Wicker Trunk With Rope Handles

It seems that everyone is after wicker or rattan in some form, whether it’s a piece of furniture or a trendy log basket. It’s certainly a strong trend for 2021 – So if you’re jumping on this “must have” but fancy something with originality and a little history then how does an early 20th Century English Military Basket sound?
 
These robust, woven willow trunks were originally used for storing laundered uniform and comes with heavy duty rope handles and a useful locking bar to the front, making this an incredibly decorative item.
 
Today’s uses are probably to store a hoard of blankets or shoes or strategically placed beside a log burner for kindling.
