Nantucket Lightship Oval Basket
Nantucket Lightship Oval Basket
$150.00
description
This beautifully woven Nantucket Lightship Basket carries the quiet soul of coastal craftsmanship, warm honey cane, a traditional leather-like wood formed swing handle, classic bone-style peg closure, and rich walnut wood bottom. Its form is timeless: simple, sculptural, and made with patience and precision.
Born in the 1800s aboard floating lighthouse ships off the coast of Nantucket, these baskets were originally crafted by sailors passing long hours at sea. Over time, the tradition came ashore and became a celebrated island art form, each basket a small piece of maritime history, meant to be used, cherished, and eventually passed down.An heirloom for those who love honest materials, coastal nostalgia, and objects made to last.
Dimensions | 7" x 5.5" x 8" (including handle)
