Antique 1800s Splint Basket Dry Blue Gray Green Paint
Item History & Price
The paint is a powdery blueish-gray-green with some splints painted in what appears to have been an old gold gilt type paint that has turned into the most wonderful dark bronzish patina.The color is a little better in person than what my monitor shows so could be better or not than what your monitor shows.One corner has a few splotches of a red paint I have shown in pics.
The basket itself is in good c...ondition with only minor splint cracks mostly in the bottom but has grown a little misshapen over time.It is higher on one side than the other on the long sides and a bit dusty. Depending on how you display this it could actually be a plus.The handle is hand carved.The top rim lashing is remarkably in good shape.
Please zoom into all pictures to view the condition and really great details.
