- Lot Description
North America, United States, Arkansas, ca. 20th century CE. A collection of 4 hand woven baskets of raffia and pine needles that replicate traditional forms of American weaving and folk art. The first is a large oval tray of pine needles and raffia with a flared rim and decorative open work discs with star shapes. The second largest basket utilizes a coiling technique to create layers of twisted needles. Raffia stiches hold the coils together and are dyed in hues of purple and orange. The last 2 baskets are hand woven by Bob and Sue Akers of Arkansas. The Akers incorporate traditional and imaginative techniques to form their baskets. In both of their pieces here, the tips of the needle sprigs protrude from the exterior to give a rustic and textured appearance. Size of tray: 15.125" L x 8.75" W x 1.25" H (38.4 cm x 22.2 cm x 3.2 cm); smallest basket: 5.5" W x 3" H (14 cm x 7.6 cm)
Provenance: private Littleton, Colorado, USA collection, between 1959 to 1962

Aker basket with handle is coated with a clear fixative on exterior to preserve the needles. Some loose fibers on interior, but tightly woven and not unraveling. Second largest basket is intact and good. Some mineral deposits and minor fading of pigments. Tray is very good, only minor tears to raffia fibers on rim.Condition
