Description from publisher: In 176 pages of gorgeous color and black-and-white photographs, Nancy Schiffer pays homage to baskets as functional objets d'art and includes hundreds of pictures of baskets from all over the United States and some from abroad. This pictorial survey of splint, wicker and coil baskets will familiarize you with baskets used for storage, decorating, carrying, winnowing, gathering and trapping. A section on baskets in use for storage and or decoration provides decorating ideas for those who love the warmth and character provided by baskets. Revised and updated prices are included with the captions. A history of native American baskets is provided by Dr. J. M. Adovasio of the University of Pittsburgh. A selection of living with baskets is filled with innovative decorating ideas. Tasteful room settings illustrate the versatility of baskets, which lend simple elegance to any home. Today's market values are included with the captions.
