I rescued this wicker sewing basket from the in-laws before the sale and the cleanout. It is kind of cool. Someday, when I have a sewing room I will put it in there. With some TLC, soft brush and Murphy's Oil Soap it cleaned up pretty good. It was made by Heywood and Wakefield. I tried to research it online. The ones you find are quite ornate. I haven't found one like this. It was probably a inexpensive one since there are no curly q's.
It was probably a light green originally. You can see traces of the color on the inside.
You can see the green underneath better.
I think the coolest thing is that there is still a serial number under the shelf. I think there is a book that I may have to try and get a copy and look it up.
