Vintage 40s Swiss Military Wicker Basket

Vintage 1940s Swiss army wicker basket

This sturdy wicker hamper was originally issued by the Swiss military during the Second World War for transporting food supplies.
It features a durable canvas lid, reinforced leather corners, and solid metal side handles for carrying. The inside of the lid is fitted with a small leather pocket – a practical detail that reflects the Swiss army’s attention to functionality.

Today, this basket makes a wonderful decorative piece while still being perfectly functional for storage in your home. Whether used as a unique interior accent, a conversation starter, or as practical storage, it adds both history and character to any space.

Despite its age of more than 80 years, the basket remains in very good condition. Over time it has developed a rich patina, enhancing its authentic vintage charm and making it truly one of a kind.
