Vintage Signed Nantucket Lightship Basket - Handcrafted With Bone Handle & Geometric Pattern

Description

This beautifully handcrafted vintage Nantucket Lightship Basket is a signed piece, marked by the artisan on the underside. It features a woven wicker body with a subtle geometric pattern, a smooth base, and a traditional pin-accented rim.

The handle is securely attached with authentic Nantucket animal bone, reflecting time-honored craftsmanship and coastal tradition. Elegant and sturdy, this basket is both functional and decorative-a fine example of modern Nantucket folk art.

A timeless addition to any collection, these baskets are truly works of art, capturing the spirit, skill, and heritage of coastal New England basket weaving.
