Item #632 is a classic Nantucket Lightship Handbag donated by Barlow Designs of East Providence. It is valued at $120.

The Nantucket Lightship Handbag, which has become a classic symbol of Nantucket Island, was originally woven by lighthouse keepers moored on Nantucket Sound. These intricately woven baskets were adapted by the women of the island as hand baskets & then adorned with ivory engravings & carvings. Our unique reproduction handbag captures the beauty of the original Lightship Baskets and is decorated with our exquisite detailed engravings. This item is just in time for Mother’s Day!
