Linen Basket

The ‘Laundry Basket’ or ‘Dirty Linen Basket’ has a teak frame with woven cane on five sides. The top flap opens with the help of a brass latch and hinges. 

The basket was designed in the same style as the seating furniture. This particular design was first used in the hostel rooms of the legislative assembly in Chandigarh. Vintage laundry baskets of similar style, dating back to the 19th century can be found in southern India, Burma, etc.
