Lot 306: Two Mid-Century Modern Storage Items in the style of Lloyd Loom
A group of two mid-20th century storage pieces. The first is a tall laundry hamper or linen chest of rectangular form, constructed with woven fibre over a wooden frame in a tan finish. It features a hinged lid with braided trim around the edges and a central turned wooden peg handle. The second item is a horizontal storage ottoman or blanket chest. The body is upholstered in a pink woven fabric and is raised on four black-finished metal hairpin legs. The hinged lid consists of a white-painted wooden frame with a padded top upholstered in a floral patterned fabric featuring multi-coloured sprigs on a cream ground. Both items are characteristic of British utility furniture from the 1950s or 1960s. No maker’s marks are visible.
