Title
Handmade Nantucket baskets, handmade purses, and other unique crafts from Nantucket Basketworks.
Description
Nantucket Lightship Baskets originated over 150 years ago. They were first created by the crewmen of lightship vessels as a way to pass time at sea. They feature distinctive rattan or cane hand woven onto wooden molds with wooden bases. The handbags are decorated with carved or scrimshawed pieces.
Lisa Bessette, proprietor of Nantucket Basketworks of Cape Cod, learned the fine art of Nantucket basket weaving from her father. Together, they have been making Nantucket Baskets, handmade purses and tote bags, and other beautifully handcrafted gifts for many years. Her baskets are all authentic originals and are signed and dated on the bottom. Lisa is a member of The Northeast Basketmakers Guild. Her homemade handbags, baskets, and other gift items can be purchased here, from her website, or in fine shops on Cape Cod. Your authentic Nantucket Basket will be made to order using only the finest quality materials available and will last a lifetime.
Lisa has been a ribbon winner several times in the Barnstable County Fair for her purses. She was also awarded two certificates for “Favorite Basket Weaving” and “Favorite Craft”. She has also been named “Best in Show” and won first place for her Nantucket tote. Elegant Weddings Magazine also quoted her in their summer issue about the use of Nantucket Baskets in weddings.
