    Description

    This antique sewing
    basket
    was made by Wakefield, before he merged with Heywood to form Heywood-Wakefield.  It dates to about 1860 and still has the original Wakefield label underneath.
    It stands 30" tall and is 16" x 13" at the widest point of the legs.  The lower basket is 11 1/2" x 14" and 2 1/2" deep.  The large upper basket is 13 1/2" x 10 1/2" and 6" deep.
    It has a carry handle, domed top, cabriole legs and lots of detailed work.  It's very unusual to find such old wicker without damage and this appears perfect.  It's a beautiful piece and a rare find.
    My mother has had it in her antique-decorated home for many years and displayed her old teddy bears in it, but she's downsizing and ready to pass it on for someone else to enjoy.
    The basket can be shipped, or pick it up in northern R.I.
