#98J • Antique Cherokee Double Weave 'Cane Storage Basket

Part of Memorial Day Mega Auction - Red Gallery Part 2 (timed auction by K and B Auction)

High bid $700.00

Status: Sold

Aged Beauty! Hand crafted quite some time ago! Double woven - double weave Cherokee River Cane storage basket. The pattern is an older one. It looks like the "Birds Eye" pattern around the bottom. Maybe water for the vertical lines? The pattern kind of speaks of a Birds Eye view of Streams, Water. Basket is approx 5.5" deep, about 8.5" x 9" - Hand dyed cane weaves of walnut have started to fade to time. Flat bottom basket was well made yet has areas of broken weave. For age, basket is in really good shape. Basket shows age and use, comes from a private collection. Even with flaws, it is tightly woven with expertise. Museum worthy! ~Az
