Up for sale is a well-crafted old Cherokee Indian splint oak market basket or vegetable gathering basket. It has beautiful detailing, with its walnut-dyed stripes on the sides. The white oak weavers have mellowed to almost the same color as the tinted splints, in fact the whole basket has a beautiful aged patina. The basket also features oak-wrapped rims, and a bentwood oak frame. The bentwood oak handle goes right around to the underside for extra stability and is held in place with one of the unique Cherokee locking splints. This sturdy and well-crafted Cherokee Indian splint oak basket will make a terrific addition to someone\'s collection.
The basket is a nice large size for one of these Cherokee baskets, and certainly has seen its share of honest work. It measures a full 15½\" x 10\" across at the rim, 6\" deep, and 11\" tall to the top of the handle. Because of its advanced age, it does have a few condition issues, the most obvious being damage to the corners as well as several missing rim wraps. A few other random missing pieces of splint as well. But the basket still displays well, and the handle is still tight and doesn\'t wobble. See photos, as they give a true picture of the basket\'s features and condition. It\'s a very nice old Cherokee Indian splint oak basket, and remains sturdy enough that it still could be used to tote your vegetables if desired.
