This antique sterling silver fruit basket is a very good gauge of silver, fine quality and in exceptional condition.

The basket has been professionally polished and is in presentation condition.

Full hallmarks struck to the surface of the well of the basket and part hallmarks to the handle are all very clear; the first portion of the maker's mark has wear due to the location, but remains legible.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this antique silver basket.
