A beautifully preserved vintage leather picnic case with original picnic service for two, by Drew & Sons, Piccadilly Circus, London. A respected British maker known for producing high-quality travel and leisure goods in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Drew & Sons built their reputation on fine materials, practical design, and craftsmanship intended for refined outdoor pursuits—picnics, motoring holidays, and country outings of the Edwardian and interwar periods.
This example is housed in a handsome brown leather case with classic stitched detailing and a brass clasp, showcasing the brand’s commitment to durability and understated elegance. The interior is thoughtfully fitted with silver-toned plates, matching cutlery secured in leather straps, porcelain cups with saucers, and a glass bottle with ratan cover, all arranged with the precision typical of Drew & Sons’ original outfitting.
The set displays a warm, authentic patina consistent with age, enhancing its charm and collectible appeal. Both functional and decorative, this Drew & Sons picnic case is a wonderful survivor of a bygone era—ideal for collectors of antique travel ware, styled picnics, prop use, or display as a statement piece of classic British leisure history.
