    Description

    THIS LISTING IS FOR:
    A wonderful vintage clothes hamper with attached lid. The entire back is made of wicker that wraps around the sides, covering about a third of each. The rest of the hamper is covered in what I believe to be vinyl, that very much resembles moire taffeta.
    The entire hamper, inside and out, is gold in color.
    The hamper has 4 wooden feet, the back 2 are painted gold and the front 2 are covered in gold-toned metal. There is also a strip of gold-toned metal around the top of the hamper.
    There is a handle (probably lucite) on one side that is clear w/gold flecks, but unfortunately the other is missing. I suppose the new owner could look for a replacement, otherwise, the lucite handle could be removed as there are additional metal handles attached to the sides. Made by Pearl Wick in Long Island City, NY - USA, probably in the 1960's. Approximate measurements (at widest/longest points) are: 24.25" H x 21" W x 12" D.
    CONDITION: Fantastic vintage condition! There are just a few very minor spots of soiling, with the most noticeable being on the lid (see last photo) There are also some areas along the top, bottom, and sides that didn't get completely covered with the vinyl during manufacturing. They truly are not all that noticeable, and as a matter of fact, I didn't notice them until editing my photos. Lastly, there are 2 small pieces of wicker on the back that aren't painted, or have paint loss. Again, this appears to be a manufacturing issue as I don't know how just 2 tiny pieces would have complete paint loss and there  not be any other wear to the wicker (see 2nd to last photo for an example).
    PLEASE VIEW ALL PHOTOS CAREFULLY AS THEY ARE VERY MUCH A PART OF MY DESCRIPTION.
