Having been originally created for utilitarian purposes, Nantucket baskets have always had an assortment of intended uses. Today’s artists are constantly looking to recreate forms and styles to further both the functions of their crafts as well as the decorative appeal of them- one of these places they’ve found achievement is the dining table. From French bread baskets to serving trays of all sizes and shapes, artists such as Bill & Judy Sayle, Don & Peggy Alexander, and Manny Dias are bringing new styles of basketry to the literal table.
