~~Early Splint Gathering / Market Basket - Best Notched Handle - Authentic Old Green Paint~~
It has a fabulous hand hewn bentwood notched handle, which will accomodate more weight than one that is woven through the splints. In addition, it was made with X-bound rim wrapping.
It measures 19 3/4 inches x 12 1/2 inches across the rim, with 6 1/2 inch tall sides. Including the handle, it is approximately 12 inches tall.
There are no repairs or modifications, however there are a few breaks, with some loss. Although I rarely offer baskets with apologies, I feel that considering the good old paint and age, this is truly a rarely found utilitarian basket.
Circa mid 19th century. Berks County Pennsylvania origin.
