These vintage industrial laundry storage boxes from 1920 originate from Continental Europe and come as a matching pair. Fabricated from vulcanised fibre, steel and brass, they possess a terracotta-red finish. Each tall, rectangular bin includes riveted steel trim along the vertical edges, a reinforced brass-toned metal rim, protective corner mounts, and cut-out carry handles near the top. The interior features vertical dividers creating multiple storage slots, and the exterior displays surface scuffs and general signs of age. Dimensions are 71 cm high, 38 cm wide, and 41 cm deep. In a modern interior, these utilitarian bins suit an empty corner where they function well as umbrella or walking-stick stands, or alternatively as tray stands in commercial hospitality spaces such as restaurants, bars, or hotels.

FAQs

These tall partitioned containers function effectively as freestanding umbrella stands, architects plans storage, boot room organisers, or distinctive structural accents in contemporary interior schemes.

Maintain these pieces by dusting regularly with a dry cloth and displaying them in a climate-controlled environment to prevent moisture damage to the composite material and oxidisation of the metal framework.

Authentic period pieces feature original manufacturer stamps or plaques, hand-riveted metal edging, integrated cut-out handles, and uniform surface wear consistent with commercial utility rather than modern reproduction.

These bins were manufactured using hardened vulcanised fibreboard or heavy-duty composite panels, bound with riveted steel or brass framing and reinforced metallic corner joints to ensure structural longevity.

Originally utilised in mid-20th century European commercial laundries, hotels, and textile facilities, these partitioned storage containers were designed to sort and transport linens and garments systematically.
