This item comes from the collection of Roni Steinberg Sokoloff and resided in her former 63-acre estate in Bedford New York known as Cantitoe Farms. (Formerly known as Sycamore Farms, the estate is down the road from Martha Stewart's estate.) The basket was purchased by Ms. Sokoloff in the 1980s and was appraised in 1988 by Sotheby's at $2,500. We will be happy to include a copy of the appraisal at time of purchase.
