Seller's Description

Detailed Condtion : please see full item description below

DESCRIPTION Superb, high quality antique English Georgian pierced solid sterling silver swing handled basket. Possibly once part of an impressive Georgian table centrepiece epergne but works equally well as a fully formed standalone basket. Although styled as the very much larger fruit and bread baskets of the period, this piece was intended for sweetmeats.
SILVERSMITH Thomas Foster, specialist maker of pierced baskets. The 'F' is very rubbed but Thomas's 'T' and position of pellet are distinctive.
