Item Description
Heritage, History & Craftsmanship
A late 19th / early 20th century Welsh artisan or costermonger’s trug, traditionally used for displaying food, floral market‑garden produce, or as a robust tool box. A substantial, beautifully made example with thick solid timber walls, reinforced banding and a strong central handle for carrying weighty items.
Costermonger’s trugs were hardworking tools of daily life - used by market traders, growers and craftspeople to carry produce, flowers or tools. This Welsh example reflects that heritage: thick timber walls for strength, reinforced metal banding, and a deeply practical handle designed to withstand real labour. Its survival in such good condition speaks to both its quality and the respect given to well‑made working objects.
