Antique Wicker Laundry Hamper Basket

This is a lovely antique laundry basket dating to the early 20th Century. I'm unsure of its origin but baskets such as these would have been used in large hotels or perhaps on a large sea vessel. The basket is traditionally made from wicker and wood and has a lift up lid which is stamped with the letters Rhb and fitted at the front with thick leather straps. To either side of the basket is a rope handle and on one side the number 23.
