~~Smaller Early Splint Basket - Bentwood Handle - PA. Dealers Collection~~
With a unique form it measures only 9 inches across the wrapped rim, 5 1/2 inches across the wrapped base and has 5 1/4 inch tall sides (not including the bentwood handle).
The surface shows nice original rich patina. The form is extraordinary.
This early basket has a few minor breaks and some missing rim wrap. With age, this typically happens in early baskets that were created with the finer splints. I make no apologies for this delightful piece and have set the price exceedingly low.
Circa mid 1800's. Berks County Pennsylvania origin.
