About this item
Antique Sussex Garden Trug. A rare, extra large size to carry cut flowers from the garden, with bentwood construction and a leathered handle. C1910
Historically Sussex has always been a trug making area, hence the iconically named ‘Sussex Trug’.
A trug, like the word, is simplicity itself. Dating back to Anglo-Saxon times, when a ‘trog’, meaning a boat-shaped vessel, was used to measure and carry all manner of things, the modern day version still serves those basic yet vital purposes. Traditionally the trog was hollowed out of a solid piece of wood, until the trug-making craft evolved into the lightweight but still strong version we are all familiar with today; overlapping willow boards within a chestnut frame. This Trug is in a lovely original condition.
