Nantucket Basket

Small 19th century Nantucket sewing basket in fine original condition.  8 1/2" in diameter, but somewhat out of round.  We believe this is an uncommon form for a Nantucket basket. Stands 4 1/2" tall. There are traces of an old sticker in the bottom of the interior that probably can be removed if desired.  We chose not to do this while it has been in our personal collection and will leave the decision up to the new owner.  There are traces of what may have been an old red wash or stain visible in the photographs. (BO-36)
