I love Nantucket style baskets (Source) and I'm inspired by all these pictures! Scroll down a bit and you'll find online stores that sell them.
Not only do Nantucket baskets come with a rich History but for me they also conjure images (and some memories too) of summer days in coastal New England, on Nantucket itself, as well as neighboring Martha's Vinyard and Block Island (Source).
Originals date back to the 1850's and the tradition lives on with today's basket weavers (Source)...
...and to no surprise they're also massproduced, made in China (Source).
You've probably seen them around (Source).
Nantucket baskets come in all shapes and sizes. From the classic baskets with swing handles, available at Nantucket Gift Company...
...to fruit and wall baskets for sale at Basketville.
Napkin Holders and Utensil Caddies for a buffet setting also from Nantucket Gift Company.
...even a basket decor theme Table Lamp and a Bath Accessory Set.

The baskets are beautiful. I have that exact wine basket. I'll have to fill er up and head to the beach.

Love the baskets. They look very elegant yet beachy.
Absolutely beautiful! They have a pure, simple and natural form. Love them! Where can I find them online?
I used these at my wedding...they are so classically New England! And I'm loving that top shot!
