| This is a lovely sterling silver basket by Tiffany & Co., in an Edwardian design with Rococo styling. Standing on a circular base this basket has a wide gently flaring bowl with a scalloped rim. The interior is engraved with a wide border of scroll cartouches with bellflower drops separated with trellis pattern decoration and shells. This fine decoration is subtle but adds richness to the basket’s simple shape. It has a tapering swing-arm handle with conforming bellflower decoration. Like all of Tiffany's work this basket is heavy gauge silver and has been expertly crafted. It is in excellent condition and measures approx. 9" high over the handle and 10 1/2" in diameter, and weighs approx. 22 troy ounces. It is marked under the base with the mark of Tiffany & Co., the words makers, Sterling Silver 925-1000, pattern number 18794, order number 8817, and the letter M for John C. Moore, tiffany's president from 1907-1947. This antique Tiffany basket is a classic design that would make a wonderful gift. Elegantly proportioned, this sterling silver basket could serve a multitude of decorating and serving uses. Price: $2,000.00 Stock #BE164 |
