Antique Early American very large rare half-top basket of oval form with willow handle and so-called "God&#39;s Eye" joint. Constructed like Penn. buttocks baskets. Used for gathering long stalks, perhaps also feathers. Exceptionally large 20 x 16 in. diam., 17 in. H. Pennsylvania origin, ca. 1880. Excellent overall condition for a utilitarian antique basket - bottom has a very small break (which can be fixed). This wonderful basket is still extremely strong, usable, and retains a beautiful patina. Becomes an outstanding focal point filled with long-stemmed flowers in a country-decorated room.
