Once the whaling capital of the world, Nantucket still has cobblestone streets and no stoplights. The television show Wings was filmed there, and it boasts the second largest airport in Massachusetts. The town, county, and island are all rich in history. Rafael Osona Auctions is offering the best of Nantucket with its upcoming sale: Fine Art, Décor, and Antiques from Nantucket Estates & Collectibles.
Headlining the auction is an unusual Nantucket covered basket with a swing handle, made around 1850-1860. This beautiful basket features a zigzag pattern and makes a great addition to any collection. Also highlighted is a 1930s Louis Vuitton wardrobe trunk. It holds six locking drawers with fabric covers, three sizes of wood hangers, and a felt-lined suitcase. Not to be forgotten is an elegant pearl necklace. This South Sea, Tahitian, and pink freshwater pearl necklace is 17 ½ inches long and showcases pink, white, gold, and silver-colored pearls. The entire collection can be viewed on Bidsquare.
