Part of Memorial Day Mega Auction - Red Gallery Part 2 (timed auction by K and B Auction)
High bid $62.00
Status: Sold
Here's a basket that is Very hard to find! Although there's another similar one in this auction, this basket is a Cherokee made basket. Hanging Double Kitchen Wall basket comes with an Info card on the master Cherokee basketweaver "Emmaline Garett" (1933–2015) - Hand woven river cane "double" basket has a Flat woven back with two baskets for use. This basket also has weave of wood splints in it! Kitchen basket hangs on wall, approx 20"H with handle x 12.5"W - smaller 11" basket above the 12.5" basket. Basket has darkened a bit with age. The colored dye weaves of Butternut, Indigo (blue-green) and Yellow have mostly faded from the front. The back still shows some of the dyes. A few breaks in the weave from age and use. Wall basket remains in Very good shape! Both basket areas are quite useable. Aging nicely! Comes from a private collector's basket collection. ~Az --There's a business card that was found tucked inside this basket set. We are leaving the card as it mentions basket was woven by Emmaline. The 5.5" x 8.5" information card with black and white photos was also found with this wall basket, and so it will also come with the purchase of basket.
