Description
Item #300 is a classic Nantucket Lightship Handbag donated by Barlow Designs of East Providence. It is valued at $125. 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 & is decorated with our exquisite detailed engravings. This item is just in time for Mother’s Day.
