Pageo Featured Designer
THE GOLDEN BASKET
In 1977, Glenaan Elliott Robbins designed the first gold Nantucket lightship basket in miniature for the opening of her store on Straight Wharf. Nantucket holds a place close to our designer's heart. As a young woman in the 70's, Glenaan spent summers in Cisco with her family. Glenaan's store has since closed but her baskets are available at Pageo Jewelers.
Glenaan has designed lidded, round, oval, nesting, flower, picnic and many other uniquely shaped Nantucket baskets. They are designed with meticulous attention to detail. The handles swing and the lids open to reveal a miniature penny inside. The custom scrimshaw on lidded baskets is done by hand with either black or multicolored inks.
Baskets are handcrafted in platinum, 18k gold, 14k gold, or Sterling silver. All designs can be set with precious stones or pearls.
Each one of her original designs is signed and dated.
