They're Back!
A Frail, a Bass, a Basket...for the market, the workshop, & the home.
Mrs. Boice's Historie Academie is pleased to offer these flexible baskets for public sale.
Such baskets were used throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in humble spaces and for everyday uses. They are documented to carry everything from old clothes to fruits and vegetables to tools to babies
(though we don't recommend that last one).
Want to know more? We're excited to share the research that went into the Academie offering the frail/bass/basket. Historian Mark A. Turdo has done a material culture study on the topic, including some really great images from across the centuries. He's even agreed to share the article!
