Vintage Sweetgrass Oval Nesting Baskets with Lids — Hand‑Woven, Natural Fiber, 1960s–1980s

This pair of vintage sweetgrass baskets captures the quiet precision of Lowcountry craftsmanship — oval forms woven from natural sweetgrass and palmetto strips, balanced and tightly coiled. The larger basket shows a subtle fragilized area on the lid that blends naturally into the weave and remains structurally sound. Both pieces are in very good condition, with smooth surfaces and even coloration typical of aged sweetgrass.
Likely crafted between the 1960s and 1980s, these baskets reflect the enduring artistry of hand‑woven Southern heritage work.
