Four Winds Craft Guild

Four Winds Craft Guild has been in the business of selling authentic local arts, crafts, and baskets on Nantucket since 1948. Four Winds Craft Guild specializes in authentic Nantucket Lightship Baskets, both contemporary and vintage, as well as collector scrimshaw, sailor’s valentines, and local artwork and sculpture. Guild manager Miranda Holmes has been dealing in antiques on Nantucket for the past 12 years and specializes in antique and vintage Nantucket baskets. Current owner John Sylvia has followed in his father and grandfather's footsteps in running Sylvia Antiques, now in its 82nd year of operation on Nantucket, located along with Four Winds Craft Guild at 15 Main St.

We love Nantucket and the people who contribute to the island's rich history, and we take particular pride in representing the fine artists whose work we sell. Our number one goal is customer satisfaction, and we strive to do our best for each person who steps through our door, in hopes of growing our community of friends and collectors alike.

We are run in conjunction with Sylvia Antiques and therefore offer an ever changing assortment of antiques, including Antique Nantucket Baskets, furniture and art.

Each of our offerings have been carefully hand selected and are all one of a kind, hand-crafted pieces perfect for any home and collector. We strive to focus on the creative abilities of local craftspeople and do not carry any imported items.

Working with so many wonderful basket weavers allows us to also offer basket repairs ranging anywhere from a small fix to a full refurbishment. It is also important to remember that because Nantucket baskets are such a small niche within the field of decorative arts and hold such a large range in valuation, it can be quite difficult to know what you have. We are happy to offer basket appraisals to help you determine the history and value of your basket.
