Splint Gathering Basket
$800.00
Considerations:
✓ Handcrafted
✓ Vintage
This vintage American splint basket features a wide oak or ash splint weave, wrapped rim band, and two riveted loop handles. Originally painted black, the basket shows natural paint loss, fraying, and visible wire repair along the rim, all consistent with decades of practical use. Likely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, this utility basket reflects a traditional form made by farm families and itinerant basket makers. One of a kind.
