About the Product
This refined pair of vintage sterling silver baskets was crafted by Mappin & Webb Ltd., one of Britains most prestigious silversmiths and royal warrant holders. Hallmarked in London, these baskets exemplify the firms reputation for elegance, precision, and superior craftsmanship. Each basket features finely executed pierced lattice sides, allowing light to pass through the silverwork and highlighting the delicacy of the hand-cut design. The softly shaped rectangular form is enhanced by scalloped rims and a solid silver base, providing both visual balance and functional stability. The baskets are fitted with graceful swing handles, each adorned with an applied bow motif. Their compact proportions suggest traditional use as sweetmeat or bonbon baskets, though they are equally suited today for display or decorative table settings.
