Is This Basket a Fake?
As I track auctions and sales
for opportunities to collect interesting baskets I have come across examples of
high and low quality reproductions as well as known fakes, frauds, forgeries,
rip offs, misrepresentations, deceptive marketing and common cases of mistaken identity in the field of basketry. Study
the pages in this section if you want to be armed against being taken advantage of by
individuals who are knowingly misrepresenting baskets as something they are not
as well as those who are ignorant of the origins of the item they are offering
for sale. As a basket collector you are advised to live by the rule....Caveat emptor - "Let The
Buyer Beware"
