Description :

Charming collection of four handwoven baskets, including three graduated whitewashed handled nesting pocket baskets and one larger natural woven round lidded basket with a decorative green floral/star motif. The weaving and forms are consistent with traditional Lowcountry/Gullah-style sweetgrass basketry. Wonderful decorative and functional folk-art collection.

Approx. Measurements
Approx. 5–12" wide x 5–10" tall

Condition
Good vintage condition with natural age, variation, discoloration and light wear throughout. Some minor irregularities to the weaving and finish consistent with handmade basketry. Please review photos for exact condition.

Historical Note
Sweetgrass basketry is strongly associated with the Gullah Geechee cultural tradition of the coastal Carolinas and Georgia, with techniques tracing back to West African basket-making traditions. Authentic older examples and unusual forms can be particularly collectible.

Estimated Value
150
