• Finely hand-crafted oval Nantucket Oval small objects storage Basket, This little basket is the catch-all for those small items that you routinely toss onto the desk until you have a messy pile of stuff that's in the way when you need to work -- coins, keys, perfect for use as an elegant holder for your very limited space on . An oval hardwood base begins this Nantucket basket and hand-tapered and beveled cane staves, meticulously hand-placed with only a whisper of space between the staves. The body of the basket is woven with Nantucket-grade cane and tightly compacted giving this Nantucket basket the ability to essentially hold water - a hallmark of my basketweaving skills. Traditional half-round rattan reed rims are scarfed and tapered, then steam-bent to a wooden form for a perfect fit to this Nantucket basket. The rims are then pre-drilled and nailed with thin brass escutcheon pins, which are then cut flush and peened over, then sanded for a smooth finish. Quality craftsmanship is seen in the small details, like the placement of the tapered staves and the additional piece of cane under the rim, giving this Nantucket basket a very refined and finished appearance. This final finish includes multiple coats of hand-applied varnish and clipping of any stray cane hairs which are prone to appear during the basket weaving process ,strengthen and bring out the natural beauty of the materials.It will develop a rich dark patina over the years with use,The miniature Oval Nantucket basket measures 6” long x 4.7” wide and is 4.25” high at the rims. Attention: Please pay attention to the size. Due to manual production, the size of each product may vary slightly. It's a small basket.
