The lid lifts to reveal a storage compartment lined in a blue-and-white toile-printed cotton fabric with a scalloped lace trim, and diamond-patterned lighter-reed accents run across the case front, sides, and back as part of the original weave design. This piece is in good antique condition, described in full below.

Construction and design notes:
- Woven rattan case on four tall rattan legs joined by a woven lower shelf
- Hinged lift-lid top compartment lined in blue-and-white toile cotton with scalloped lace trim
- Two woven drawers below the lid, each with a diamond-patterned lighter-reed accent; the upper drawer is missing its wood pull, the lower drawer retains its pull
- Woven carrying handles at the top of each side
- Diamond-patterned lighter-reed accents repeat across the front, sides, and back as part of the original decorative weave

Flat measurements: overall 31 in H x 21 in L x 12 in W (78.7 x 53.3 x 30.5 cm). Interior of the top compartment: approximately 15 in x 10 in, 6 in deep (38.1 x 25.4 cm, 15.2 cm deep).

Good antique condition overall. The upper drawer is missing its wood pull, though it still opens by hand at the reed edge. There is light fraying to some reed ends near the base of the legs, consistent with age and handling, and the toile lining sits a little loosely in places rather than being fully tacked down. The weave throughout is otherwise solid with no holes or structural breaks, and both drawers operate smoothly.

This piece suits a collector of Victorian or Edwardian wicker furniture, a decorator looking for a tall narrow work table or bedside piece with real texture, or anyone wanting functional antique storage with genuine age.
