Primitive Basket Info

Hello!
Having some difficulty identifying the maker/region of this basket. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

 

Hi beakster. Welcome to Antiquers.

To help ID your basket, where are you located / where did you find the basket?

 

I will tag a member who is knowledgeable about splint baskets. @komokwa

you have a very sweet basket........... I luv em !

 

I thought one of the distinctive features of the Taghkanic baskets was the double lashing (criss-crossed) on the rims, like the last one you show. But beakster's does not have that. Perhaps from the same region, but not Taghkanic?

ok....

A classic example of regional folk craft, Taghkanic baskets have been woven in a small corner of the Hudson River valley since the mid-eighteenth century.
Though not all do, the archetypal and most collectible Taghkanic basket has a rounded bottom with a center that pokes upward. It is made of oak and ash. The splints—a weaving term that can describe both the horizontal and vertical components of a basket—vary in width and are very strong, and the rim is lashed in a crisscross pattern.
Most have either a single handle or a pair of handles, and some have a swing handle.

" Though not all do,....." is my key to letting some single lashed rims .... into this group...when all of the other identifiers are present.



some even have that xtra spiral twist on the bottom to help keep the basket upright... and some.....have a flatter base... not as upturned as the classic model...





Taconic is a large area for basket weaving........and there are regional exceptions ...

as..



here's an unusual cutout handle one...
