Large Sewing ChestVintage Amish Wicker Storage With Drawer

• Handcrafted Quality: Handwoven from natural rattan reed over a solid hardwood frame, with a solid wood lift-off lid, a woven drawer and wooden legs, by an Old Order Amish family on the Iowa-Missouri border, and signed by the weaver who made it.
• A Sewing Chest, Not a Box: The tallest piece in our sewing family, 16 1/2 inches on its legs, built like a small chest of drawers: a deep open compartment under the lid for fabric, batting, projects and pattern books, and a full-length drawer below for the tools and the thread.
• A Lift-Off Lid: A solid wood lid with a wooden knob lifts straight off and sets back on, so the top opens as wide as the chest itself and nothing hinges into the way.
• A Full-Length Drawer: A woven drawer basket with a wooden knob slides out from the bottom, one long open space for scissors, tape, spools and the pin cushion.
• Measures: 18" x 13 1/2" x 16 1/2" tall on its legs. Contents not included.
• Three Trim Colors: Choose Plain, Wine & Blue, or Wine & Green. The color is woven in as dyed reed, not painted on.
• Optional Extra: An engraved solid brass plate, two lines of up to 22 characters each, is the one option on this page. It is a piece of furniture meant to stay where you set it.
• American Heritage: Handwoven in the USA and signed by the Amish weaver who made it. Backed by our lifetime guarantee, with free shipping and no-questions returns on every order.

This is the sewing chest for a room where the sewing lives in the open. "It shows off like a piece of furniture!" Linda wrote in 2025. "The craftsmanship is unbelievable!" Eleanor, in 2023: "So glad I ordered the Large, it's perfect for my projects. The colors compliment the other furnishings in the family room." Earl gave one for Mother's Day: "My wife loved this larger Amish storage basket for her knitting projects."

The two spaces do two jobs. "I put my extra material & batting in the top & my thread spools in the bottom," Veronica wrote in 2023. Dianne: "I love the drawer for keeping accessories." Helen, who knits and crochets, said it "couldn't be more perfect for my needs had it been made to order! Room for everything I need for knitting & crocheting." Shelley keeps her wool applique in it between sittings.

The legs lift the chest off the floor and are part of the 16 1/2 inch height. If you want the same idea with leather handles and a hinged lid, at 12 1/2 inches tall, choose the Extra Large Sewing & Craft Box; if you want one open box on legs with a double-hinged lid, the Grandma's Sewing Box; for a divided top and a drawer at table size, the Large Sewing & Craft Basket. The whole family is on the sewing baskets page.

An Old Order Amish family weaves this chest by hand on the Iowa-Missouri border, in the same community as the rest of our sewing baskets, and the weaver signs it before it leaves the farm. Standard shipping is free, and rush delivery is offered at checkout when a birthday or Christmas is close. It ships gift-ready, with no prices in the box, a free gift note at checkout, and a short letter about the family who wove it. Like every basket we sell, it carries our lifetime guarantee, and returns are no questions asked.
