Why would baskets be under folk art? Because they are all hand crafted and made for a specific reason, many different from the next. Egg Baskets, fruit baskets, tomato baskets, cheese baskets, clothes baskets, feather baskets, the list goes on, depending on what was needed in a colonial home. Some are in paint, some are 'cat's eye', some are swing handle, if you are looking for a great hand made antique basket, look no further. All priced to sell!!
