Baskets from up high? Long winters in complete isolation asked for
hobbies, crafts, some kind of activity. Attention deficit disorder not yet
being defined, lighthouse keepers had to invent their own kind of medicine
to while away long hours, days and weeks. One such renowned lighthouse
keeper craft was creating baskets, using wood splints and woven reeds. Of
typical form and shape, they are called Nantucket or Lighthouse baskets
and are highly sought collectibles. Admire the detail of our set of five
reproduction baskets, lightly distressed and finished with a bone knob to
lock the gracefully curved carrying handle.
