Basket Street Papers

This gallery and studio features the artwork of hand papermaker and printmaker Peggy Merritt. The mountains, lakes, woods, and meadows of Sandwich inspire the designs of her hand-pulled prints. Her handmade paper of Asian-fibers includes sculptural pieces, wall and window hangings, pulp paintings, and one-of-a-kind greeting cards.

Peggy will design and make cards for a special occasion.  Call or send e-mail to arrange a visit to the studio or to discuss your needs.

 botanical lambshade
Botanical Lampshades is a small company specializing in custom lampshades with pressed flowers and leaves. The art of pressed flower lampshades began in the Victorian era, and lives on in Sandwich, NH, where four generations of artists have continued this craft since 1950. Also today these lampshades are made with maps, handmade papers, and collage techniques. 

Every Botanical Lampshade is hand cut and individually designed with organically grown or locally gathered wild plants, pressed and dried on the premises. We have hundreds of plant varieties to work with, and chances are good that we have some of your favorites!   

Derek Marshall Lighting

Award-winning Derek Marshall Lighting designs and fabricates interior lighting for home, business and hospitality interiors.
American art glass, stainless steel, aluminum and brass form the basis of the lights. The art glass, available in more than 50 colors, styles and textures, becomes a jewel-like focal point in the room. It is kiln-formed into overlapping leaves which give a clear up and down light. All our lighting is certified by Underwriters Laboratories LLC (UL).

The inspiration for Marshall’s work comes from years of living in Japan where he attended art school in the city of Kyoto. Moving to Sandwich, New Hampshire in 1971, Derek and his wife Linda started their pottery studio where they made utilitarian ware with hand-painted botanical motifs. Gradually the work shifted into the lighting arena, starting with table lamps and now including wall sconces, chandeliers and pendant lights. Our studio offers many designs and styles. See the catalog of designs, with pricing, at derekmarshall.com. Custom lighting design is also available.

Tappan Chairs, LLC

Tappan Chairs are quintessential New England furniture and have been handcrafted in Sandwich, New Hampshire for nearly two centuries. Simple and elegant, Tappan Chairs are similar in appearance to Shaker furniture, yet developed independently and concurrently to that movement as a secular statement of handmade, homespun craftsmanship.

Historically made from white ash and hard maple, the Tappan Chairs of our time also offer their signature styles in cherry and walnut—for a beautiful and surprisingly contemporary feel which highlights what the brand has become over nearly two hundred years of evolution: a line of fine furniture. In 2015 we were honored with the designation of becoming the only authorized crafter of the “Alfred Chair”, the historic chair of the living Shaker community at Sabbathday Lake in New Gloucester, ME.

Offering full-service picture framing with custom woodworking capabilities and an extensive selection of frames, mats, glass and all materials related to framing from all over the world.

Will Lehmann began his picture framing and woodworking business as “Surroundings” in Oregon in 1973. He moved to Sandwich in 1977, continuing his business in his uncle’s barn and the second floor of Adams Hall until he moved it downtown to the building where Jim Hambrook now has his office.  Relocating into the garage next door, he reincarnated his business into Miter Man in the 80s. 

In the 90s he moved his business to the studio he built on Schoolhouse Road and became “Will Lehmann Frames”, expanding his business to include making frames for other framers around the country while continuing fine framing for individual clients in Sandwich.
Will treats the artwork that he frames, whether it be an old sock or a Renoir, with as much respect, in terms of materials and procedures, as his clients are willing to accommodate to insure the preservation of their treasures.  He also prizes the collaboration between himself and his clients to meet their particular and individual aesthetic tastes, taking into account the unique character of their home or work environment.
