circa 1870-1930
The tribal peoples of the Great
Basin region (around and including the Western Nevada/Eastern California
desert region) produced some of the worlds most intricate and finely woven
three-rod foundation baskets. Surviving baskets generally were woven from
the beginnings of the Early Collector period (late 19th century) to the
Great Depression of 1930 which marked the end of traditional fine basket
weaving for most tribal cultures.
Chemehuevi Baskets (all dating circa 1870-1930) Coiled
willow and martynia on three rod foundation. Ollas (jar form), bowls, trays,
etc. More rare and more conservative in design and form than Apache, the
Chemehuevi weavers of the Great Basin region lived in the desert at the
California/Nevada border. Chemehuevi baskets are a favorite of long-time
collectors.
 Panamint Baskets
(all dating circa 1880-1930) Coiled willow and black martynia
("devilsclaw") seedpod on three rod foundation, some polychrome examples
with red yucca root. Panamint basketry examples include some of the most
refined and sophisticated examples in all of basketry weaving. Death
Valley, California.
 Washo Baskets
(all dating circa 1880-1930) Coiled willow, black bracken fern, and
sometimes brick-colored redbud on a three rod foundation. Washo baskets,
including the near spherical degikup form--created especially for wealthy
collectors in the 1900-1920 era, are perhaps the collecting world's most
desired baskets. Washo weaver Louisa Keyser (Dat-So-La-Lee,
b.1850(?)-d.1925) is widely recognized as the most famous basket weaver in
the world. Examples of her baskets and other famous weavers are often
available through our gallery. Please contact us for more information or to
