This basket features a solid hardwood cherry base and two piece rim. The rim is lashed with cane and it is also woven using premium cane. The basket is handwoven using the traditional Nantucket Lightship method of basket making. This tray can be used as is or can be converted into a tilting table. The table is absolutely gorgeous and makes a beautiful coastal focal piece. If interested in converting this into the tilting table please contact me for pricing and photos. The last photo resembles the base for this basket which can be purchased separately upon request.
