This piece is quite remarkable that it has survived in this condition for 140 years. Very well made, this carrier is constructed with fine willow wood twig work, wicker and with a iron wire door border wrapped in waxed cording. It does have its catch latch too. You will note that on the left side of the cage entry there is old cording. This is an area where a pet coming in and out would possibly do bite or claw damage. I believe that the owner reinforced this area to make it less susceptible to damaged. A guess. It appears to be fine underneath. This find came out of an old estate in Sonoma County California. It measures 19"H, including its handle, X 14" H X 20"L. The bottom has some wear as expected. More images on request. Very cool for a pet lover! I can ship this safely to a buyer. It doesn't weigh much.
