 You are bidding on a NEW WITH TAGS -- Set of 3 Nested NANTUCKET LARGE STORAGE BASKETS (YES, ALL THREE FOR THIS PRICE!) -- Awesome new set! Unfortunately, these are very, very limited! Buy now for the holidays as when they are gone, they are gone! The last time we saw anything of this quality at this price was over 4 years ago!!
This 3 BASKET RECTANGULAR SET is LARGE -- these are meant to store everything and anything! Perfect for organizing your office or home AND doing it in style! The baskets are so stylish you will want to leave them out while they are being used in any room... the smaller one (which is still a large basket!) is perfect for storing towels & "comfy" items in the guest room / bath. If you are into CRAFTS like I am, these are absolutely a MUST HAVE for keeping those craft projects organized but still easily accessible when you have the spare time to work on them.
I always get asked: What's YOUR favorite thing about these baskets? EASY! The sizes are so WORKABLE & I LOVE the covered handles... these are not little wires that are going to cut into your hands... these are woven wooden handles... just like you see on the "pricey" baskets! And, if you were fortunate enough to purchase one of our fabulous KNITTING BASKETS a few years back, these will MATCH PERFECTLY!
And, if you are doing your early HOLIDAY SHOPPING, this set would divide nicely into 3 SEPARATE GIFTS, sure to warm the hearts of 3 of your family or friends. Because they are a set, you will $AVE on shipping as well... Holiday shopping doesn't get better than this!

The elegant NANTUCKET BASKETS are of the Nantucket Lightship Basket style: the solid wooden disc base, the symmetrical ribbed staves, tight weaving techniques, and the use of molds to create a perfect shape that could be reproduced time after time.
This style of basketry has deep New England roots. The US Government commissioned a ship to be a floating lighthouse in 1840 to help sailors navigate off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts. The sailors were stationed for 8 month long duties, which usually consisted of standing watch & cleaning the lamps – and to pass the time, they learned the art of basketry from the local Native American Indians. The baskets the Indians made were lightweight & rather fragile, as they used them to gather berries, etc. In 1890 the craft was moved to Nantucket Island, where weavers used native materials to make a sturdier, more durable basket that better suited the needs of the farming community. They replaced the woven spider web bottoms with a bottom of solid wood.
Today, NANTUCKET baskets have become increasingly valuable and highly sought after. Nantucket Basket weavers are no longer limited to their craft on Nantucket Island -- these fine baskets are produced worldwide. As basket collectors know, NANTUCKET BASKETS produced on NANTUCKET Island START at $1000.00 each and go up from there. Our hand crafted NANTUCKET BASKETS offer you the beauty, style, quality and affordability at a fraction of the price!
