Description

This one of a kind hand-woven basket will surely put a smile on your face when you look inside to see the small scrimshaw like-disc at the bottom. The open oval basket is made in the traditional Nantucket Lightship style with a tightly woven rattan body, reinforced wood bottom signed and dated by NJ artisan, Pamela Wilson.  Inside it features a hand painted and colored scrim of a smiling and sassy German shepherd sitting in front of a summer flower garden.   The basket is woven in cane and has a beautiful cherry wood hand, rims and base.  it measures 13" long x 10" wide and 5.5" high without the handle or 12" with the hand.  Although it is lightweight, Nantucket baskets are very strong.


 

Special Instructions

While the handle does move, it has been tightened enough so it stands up.  It is best not to try to push it down.
