Description
Nantucket Lightship Basket
Davis Hall (attr.)
Nantucket, MA, c. 1870
An open round basket with the top opening measuring six inches in diameter. Most likely woven at sea aboard the Nantucket New South Shoal Lightship #1 where Hall was a crew member. The basket displays a slightly carved handle attached with a copper rivet and a brass burr, a carved handle ear beveled to a point, wide staves, a baseboard carved with a smooth edge inside and out, and a circular row of fine tacks on the bottom.
Original condition with a couple missing weavers and a fine age crack on one side of the base.
