    Antique 19th C Sailor ROPE WORK Ropeware CUP & SAUCER Maritime FOLK ART #3
    We are very pleased to offer a wonderful RARE hand made Sailor Rope Work or Ropeware Cup & Saucer Set Folk Art Example.
    Would be perfect in a Nantucket Island Collection!
    These are very hard to find and we will be offering all 3 items that we have collected over the years. The workmanship is pretty on this Maritime piece of Folk Art, this one is very dark and has a nice nutty brown hue or tone or color.  It is a hardened form (some material that hardens the crocheted or handmade item for display) of crochet or ropework that was made into a wonderful cup and saucer folk art duo..    A very nice example and very hard to find or even rare.  We have 2 other examples that are similar- both are baskets- one a smaller size and the other larger handled basket.  Please view all of our items for very nice period accessories, etc.
    Basket measures approx 6.75" diameter flat saucer, the cup is approx 2" diameter at the base and approx approx 4" diameter at rim and approx 3.25" tall to top of basket scalloped rim.
    Thanks for looking.
