This is an Estate Fresh Old Shaker Basket from a local Estate home.  Its a RARE 1900s PLEASANT HILL KENTUCKY SHAKER "PICKET FENCE" BASKET for Laundry or Wood or Both - its 29.75"L.  This rare Shaker basket from Pleasant Hill, Kentucky features a unique "picket fence" design and is made of wood and metal. The natural Old "used" patina adds to its Americana style and originality. Made by the Kentucky Shakers, this large basket measures 29.75" end to end in length, 11.25" High on the ends in height, and 19" at the middle in width.  This Antique turn of the Century Century Shaker "Picket Fence" Basket, circa 1900, a rectangular work basket probably made of tulip - poplar wood with broad independent staves nailed to solid wood bottom and interconnected by heavy gauge wire, with opposing swing handles of twisted wire with turned wooden handles. Basket is in its original natural patina, well worn and used. The community of Shakers at Pleasant Hill were the only producers of this type of basket I believe.   This item is perfect for collectors who appreciate the history and craftsmanship of Shaker baskets especially because this is such a hard one to find!  It comes in very nice condition as described above.   SHIPPING NOTE: This will require a large box for safe delivery and thus a little more cost for shipping than I had hoped.  If not on the east coast and the cost comes in lower, I will gladly offer a portion of shipping refunded.   I do not do shipping estimates.
