~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fresh from a New Hampshire collection that was assembled between 20-30 years ago an early 19 th century American splint covered basket. Covered baskets of this quality and condition are now rare. This basket possesses an amazing untouched surface and exhibits the type of warm smooth patina you want to see on a basket of this age. The woven splint is still tight and the basket displays wonderfully with no leaning to one side or sagging. It measures about 12 ½” high including the handle, 8” to the top of the lid with a diameter of 9” at the top and 6 ¾” at the base. No repairs or restoration. None needed! Note: The close-up of the lid shows the true color and patina of the basket. The other photos came out lighter than the actual color due to the flash. Additional photos available upon request.
