Antique SHEFFIELD 1880s Silver Plated Repoussé, Fruit / Bread Basket, Handled
Such exquisite detail, typical of English Sheffield pieces of this time. It has the Ruffled Rim, Reticulated / Pierced Metalwork, is Footed and has a swing handle. May have been used as a Victorian Bridal Basket, or Cake Basket, but now would make a lovely Fruit Basket, or addition to any table, as a bread bowl ( or dinner Rolls, etc.). Stamped Maker''s Mark, "Sheffield" on bottom. Measures 9 3/4" . I like the look of some tarnish so am leaving this for photos but it can certainly be polished for a very pristine, shiny silver look, as well. This would be a great piece to have with the holidays coming up!
Please see photos and zoom in as they are part of my description. Thank you!
