Description:

STRAIGHT FROM AN OLD COLLECTION, THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST MINIATURE SHAKER BASKET WE HAVE EVER SOLD. COMPLETELY PERFECT CONDITION AND STILL RETAINING ITS OLD ORIGINAL DRY SURFACE IT IS THE FINEST EXAMPLE WE HAVE SEEN, THE TIGHT WEAVE IS LESS THAN 1/16\" OF AN INCH.

THE VERY BEST 19TH CENTURY MINIATURE SHAKER TWO HANDLE BASKET IN THE BEST ORIGINAL OLD SURFACE AND PATINA WITH THE MOST DELICATE AND FINE WEAVE. Enfield, CT Shaker Community, Circa 1850-1870.

It is a miniature Open top basket with two hand carved maple handles being only 7 1/2\" across and 4 1/2\" deep. It is make of what appears to be black ash splint. It is a very tight weave on the sides being less than 1/16\" in size.

This basket is very similar to known and documented Enfield, CT Shaker Baskets, both in construction technique and splint used. The basket came from an old Shaker Picker named \"Shaker Ed\" who lived in Enfield, CT. Ed worked at the Enfield, CT Shaker Community when it was closing and after it closed in the 1920\'s. He often traded his work for pieces from the community.

THE SURFACE IS DRY AND HAS THE BEST OLD PATINA.

NEAR PERFECT CONDITION.
THE PHOTOS AND DESCRIPTION DO NOT DO THIS BASKET JUSTICE. IT IS MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
For a similar design and further discussion on this type of basket, see, \"The Shakers\", by Ken Burns.

7 1/2\" across the top, 4 1/2\" deep and 3\" tall, 4\" with the handles.
