19th Century Tramp Art Dish Stand

About the Item

Antique Tramp Art Dish Stand, Late 19th Century, a hand crafted stand or trivet for a dish or bowl, intricately made of an interwoven network of carved and notched wooden splints, crossing and interlocking much like a "crown of thorns." Each splint is nicely carved with curvilinear and saw tooth edges, held by forming an interlocking ring as the top rim and the base. The stand is pretty much in the lines of an Irish or English silversmith's potato ring. The ring remains in great condition with every splint present and still strongly locked in place. I have found chips and loss to just two of the round lollipop ends. Measures: 6 in H x 9-1/2 in Diameter

19th Century Nest of Three Nantucket Lightship Baskets
Located in Nantucket, MA
19th Century Nest of Three Nantucket Lightship Baskets, circa 1880, a graduated set of three round, open baskets having cane weave on rattan staves, a carved swing handle with an elongated ovoid lozenge end connected to tin ears that extend down inside the weave for about a quarter length of a stave, and hardwood bottom plate, likely maple, that is slightly convex and scribed with three concentric rings, The baskets are not signed but are clearly all made by the same hand. The style of the handle with a lozenge end is very similar to that carved by Charles Ray, Capt. Thomas James, William Appleton and circle aboard the South Shoals Lightship, and continued in a more exaggerated manner ashore by A.D. Williams, Ferdinand Sylvaro and especially Mitchy Ray. The handle here has a more slender and elegant profile more akin to the work of Capt. James, suggesting that this nest was likely made by a sailor serving aboard the lightship during James' tenure. All three baskets remain in very good, strong condition, and enjoy a deep patina nicely darkened with age. Unlike most nests which really seem to be more of an assemblage gathered together after the fact, these three baskets nest together nicely with a uniform gradation in size, a feature exemplified by the perfect graduated profile of their handles. This nest was in the personal collection of noted Nantucket folk art...
