Brexton picnic hampers uniquely capture the picnic pleasures of a by-gone era. They are elegant and sturdy – constructed of nothing but the highest quality materials – and very vintage. They were manufactured by a company called Brookes and Sexton under the trade name of Brexton in the United Kingdom in the early 1950′s.

Brexton picnic hampers come with two, four, six or eight cups, saucers and plates. They also include the appropriate number of forks, knives and spoons. Nested beakers, thermos flasks, topped glass bottles and metal food boxes are some of the variety of additional items that can also be found in a Brexton picnic set.
