Originally thought to have been made and sold by the Shakers, these finely Woven Splint Double Lidded Baskets range in size from 4-6" miniatures to picnic hamper sizes. Subsequent research has found that the Shakers actually imported these baskets from someplace in Eastern Europe and sold them "to the World" from their village shops. This Miniature 5 3/8" example was probably a small sewing basket made for a child. It measures 5 3/8" x 3 1/4" x 6 1/2" (top of handle; the basket itself is 3 1/2" high). It is in very fine condition: the weave is tight; the lid opens and closes properly and the handle is solid. There are no breaks in either the lid or the body of the basket; the fasteners that would fit into the loops to hold the 2 sections of the lid closed are gone (not unusual for baskets like this!).
