expert basket makers. (Large to small: h-9", dia-13"; h-8.5", dia-11.25";

Antique Nantucket Lightship Basket, Small
Likely Circa 1880-1900
Oak, ash, and rattan
(Height at Handle: 8.75"; height: 4.5"; diameter: 6.25")


Antique Nantucket Lightship Basket, Small Likely circa 1880-1900 Oak, ash, and rattan, entire view 1

Round basket with taller than usual carved and notched fixed square handle; a pair of
typical wood disks receive the ribs which are secured with tiny wood pegs; disks are
each branded C. BAKER. [No interior/exterior concentric rings turned into base nor
screw hole for affixing to mold] The rim is interesting…the inner and outer rim support a
top rim; all tightly secured with double cross lashing using no escutcheon pins. Very
good condition; a tad of wood loss to outside corners of handle bail due to shrinkage
early in the basket’s life; rim is somewhat out-of-round…also due to shrinkage.
