Description
FERDINAND SYLVARO NANTUCKET BASKET
Nantucket, Massachusetts, Circa 1920
Round, with swing handle. Base inscribed with three concentric circles, typical of Sylvaro. Handwritten label on underside "Made by Ferdinand Sylvaro 97 Orange St. Nantucket Mass".
Basket height 4". Diameter 7.25".
Notes:
It's believed Ferdinand Sylvaro (1868-1952) learned to weave Nantucket baskets from A.D. Williams, who had learned from William D. Appleton. Sylvaro owned the molds that had belonged to Davis Hall, the New South Shoal lightship keeper and noted basket maker in the late 1800s.
