No Nantuckeet collection is complete without one of these traditional lighship baskets! Though considered a nesting basket, it can be displayed alone and still look exquisite! Don't let its beauty fool you. It is practical, as well as stylish and quite useful around the house. This is the basket you think of most (next to purses) when you hear the words "Nantucket basket." It's simplier, yet elegant style makes it a desired item and a basket not to be missed by any collector. While the larger baskets are often used as a planter for the garden or sunroom, the smaller baskets can be adapted for gathering, such as collecting shells on the beach or as a berry basket in the garden. The possiblities are endless!

Elegant, but practical. This beautiful Nantucket basket is nice to display as is, yet fully functional for any task at hand. One look and its easy to see why Nantucket baskets, such as this one, are considered a cut above the rest.

The signature tight weave coupled with the wood, leather, and bone accessories make the Nantucket basket a collector's item.

This basket will transform even the simplest task into a fashionable opportunity. Makes a nice gift for any basket collector on your list.
