Crafted with reverence for tradition and a spirit of artistic evolution, this exquisite breadbasket is a testament to the enduring legacy of Nantucket's Lightship Basketry. Local basketmaker Janet Carreau reimagines the classic Lightship form in a functional design suited for modern living, skillfully weaving cane over a cherry wood base. Nestled into this base is a finely detailed carving of Nantucket Island—a subtle yet powerful nod to the basket’s place of origin.
This piece is more than utilitarian; it is a tactile celebration of heritage, nature, and craftsmanship. The warm tones of the cherry wood complement the intricate weave, while the island silhouette carved beneath serves as a grounding reminder of community, place, and identity. Whether displayed as a centerpiece or used daily at the table, the basket offers a purposeful elegance that bridges past and present.
