FABULOUS Medium 18" Fortnum & Mason F&M Wicker Linen Quilt Hamper Picnic Basket

Description: Due to many requests for individual hampers, I am splitting up my set of 3 F&M wicker hampers & will be selling them individually. The pictures show all 3 but THIS LISTING IS FOR THE MEDIUM 18x12x8 HAMPER ONLY. FORTNUM & MASON First founded in Londons Piccadilly in 1707, F&M was proud to have remained an essential destination for anyone in search of extraordinary food, exceptional service and joy-giving things ever since. Everyone remembers their first encounter with us, and no wonder over our centuries of history, we have been committed to delivering a sense of pleasure to anyone who walks through our doors. 'Look where I will... I see Fortnum & Mason. All the hampers fly wide open and the green downs burst into a blossom of lobster salad!' CHARLES DICKENS The First 317 Years Like all great exercises in creation, Fortnum & Mason began with light. The insistence of Queen Anne's household on fresh candles every night spelled a legitimate perk for an enterprising footman: spare palace wax to sell on. By 1707, William Fortnum's enlightened sideline had melted down into enough to leave royal service and start a business with his landlord Hugh Mason. The rest, as they say, is grocery. And baskets. The Story of the Hamper The Fortnums hamper is the worlds best-travelled tuck box. Over the course of 317 years its been dispatched to every possible location, from the slopes of Everest and the battlefields of Iraq to the more welcoming lawns of Twickenham, Henley and Epsom. Its a by-word for portable pleasure. This FABULOUS F&M wicker trunk/ ottoman/ storage/ picnic basket set is the perfect addition to any room. With a traditional style and woven pattern, it is suitable for all occasions and can used in a variety of ways such as floor decoration, stair landings, linen or quilt storage, furniture, wardrobes, and of course, picnicking! The basket is in excellent condition, have a leather buckle closure and come with handles and closing lids. They're made of leather and wicker materials and can be cleaned with a damp cloth. This is an original F&M product, manufactured in the United Kingdom using weaving production techniques. Dimensions: Medium 18"Lx12"Wx8"H 4 lbs Since the lids were only opened a few times, they still have that satisfying tight "wicker-squeak" when opened. I only charge the ACTUAL shipping cost based upon your selection of shipper, no additional fees for constructing the packaging, etc. Thanks for taking the time to read all this, and please feel free to look at my other items for vintage jewelry, antique books, hiking and camping gear, and other miscellaneous items. I'll be listing periodically every week and have over 1000 items to sell. Thanks for looking and have a great day!
