Item Description
A lovely, heavy quality George III swing-handled basket featuring bright-cut decoration. This piece can be used for sugar or sweetmeats of any kind. It would look enticing filled with candied fruits or chocolates, or chocolate-dipped strawberries...I digress.
The bright-cut decoration is incredibly crisp considering the great age of this item, indication that it has seen very little, and incredibly careful use.
The underside of the foot reveals the original hammer marks from the silversmith's tools. Fabulous quality.
The pheon crest is crisp and well-engraved.
