Picnic Basket

I've seen quite a few picnic baskets but this one is different. It's quite well made, very sturdy and with a unique shape.

Dimensions: cm wide x cm deep x cm tall (" x " x ").

Picnic basket with handles.
Slight wear on the top.
Latch missing.
Hinged lid.
Soiled interior.
Sadly, the interior material of this basket is quite soiled and will need to be torn out and replaced. As well, the latch is missing.

UD price - pending


Retro Floor Lamp

I had never seen anything like this before and wasn't even sure I was going to pick it up, but in the end just stuffed it into the van with the other night's collections because it was so unique and I loved the lines. I have since discovered that it is a Danish modern floor lamp with a small built-in table. I'm not positive, but I think it is made of teak. The piece rests on top of three swooping legs with a square tabletop perfect for resting a book or cup. This is a vintage item from the 1960s.

Dimensions: 41cm wide x 41cm deep x 124cm tall (16" x 16" x 49").

A lamp and a table.
Lovely shaped legs.
Spot for bulb.
Spot for cord to pass through.
The piece itself is in excellent condition, however I have to rewire the lamp and add an appropriate shade. This identical completed item sold on Etsy for over $200. Similar items sell for $150 - $500.

UD price - $80

Steamer Trunk

I always wanted one of these. Unfortunately, I no longer have room for one. This green and black steamer trunk is probably from the 1950s or 1960s. It was made by Vacatiner in Petersburg, Virginia.

Made in U.S.A.

Similar item sells for $100 - $150.

Pier 1 Import Wine Rack

This was gifted to The Ugly Duckling and I am passing it on. The wood is lovely, although the metal is rusty and will need cleaning. I love the fact that you can stack them to make one great wine rack or dismantle them to use separately on shelves.

Dimensions: cm wide x cm deep x cm tall (" x " x ").

Five tier wine rack.
Stackable.
Rusty.
Five pieces.
Winsome Woods
Similar item sells for $40 (two tier) at Pier 1 Imports.
