Two Mid-20th Century Storage Hampers - A pair of storage hampers from the mid-20th century, comprising a large wicker example and a smaller fabric-upholstered unit. The larger hamper is D-shaped, constructed from woven wicker with a flat back and a curved front. It features a hinged lid finished with a thick braided wicker border and a central circular wicker ring pull. The entire piece has been finished in a distressed grey paint. Two small adhesive labels are present on the lid, one orange and one white, which do not contain a readable maker's name. No other marks are visible. The second hamper is rectangular and upholstered in a salmon-pink textured fabric. The hinged lid is inset with a clear glass panel and reinforced with four brass-toned metal corner plates and a central metal loop handle. The upper and lower edges are accented with gold-toned braided gimp trim, and the unit is raised on four short, square feet with a gold-painted finish. A small orange adhesive label is affixed to the glass lid but is not legible as a brand name. No other marks or labels are visible.
