A charming vintage 1950s Lloyd Loom laundry basket, featuring a classic half-moon shape with original painted pink woven fibre body and a softly upholstered floral fabric lid. This quintessentially English piece captures the cheerful domestic elegance of the mid-century postwar era, when Lloyd Loom designs became a hallmark of British home style. This is a little project as the seat needs a reupholster.
Constructed from woven twisted kraft paper on a metal frame, this piece bears its original Lloyd Loom label, confirming its authenticity. The basket’s curved form and woven texture were designed for both practicality and beauty — ideal for use as a laundry or storage chest, or as a decorative accent in a vintage-inspired bedroom or dressing room.
The painted pink finish and romantic rose-print top evoke 1950s pastel cottage style, combining utility with charm. The seat lifts to reveal a spacious interior suitable for storing linens, craft materials, or household items. While showing areas of age and wear to the paint, this adds genuine vintage appeal and makes it an excellent restoration or upcycling project. The seat does need to be redone as it is quite stained and probably wasn't the original in the first place. The feet have also been removed.
Made in England, this piece reflects the enduring popularity of Lloyd Loom furniture, prized for its durability and classic silhouette. Whilst not in pristine condition, and priced accordingly, this storage basket is still fab!
A sweet and nostalgic decorative piece — equally suited for restoration or display in a shabby chic, cottagecore, or vintage interior.
