Nantucket Lightship Baskets originated over 150 years ago. They were first created by the crewmen of lightship vessels as a way to pass time at sea. They feature distinctive rattan or cane hand woven onto wooden molds with wooden bases. The handbags are decorated with carved or scrimshawed pieces.
Each Nantucket basket and Nantucket basket purse is individually crafted and handwoven with fine quality craftsmanship and traditional Nantucket Lightship basketry details by me personally, then signed and dated on the base. You purchase the Nantucket Basket directly from the artist!
