For sale is a stunning and substantial vintage solid brass basket with a graceful twisted handle and beautifully detailed floral etching throughout. Measuring a generous 10.5 inches tall (including handle) and approximately 8 inches wide at the rim, this piece makes a dramatic statement whether used as a decorative vase, bride’s basket, or unique handbag-style centerpiece.
Features:
• Rich, warm solid brass construction with natural age-related patina (no plate or coating – this is heavy, real brass)
• Delicate hand-etched floral and scroll motifs on every panel
• Scalloped and crimped rim with decorative chain-link edging
• Elegant twisted-rope handle that arches high for easy carrying or display
• Pleated/gathered body that gives it the charming look of a fabric purse frozen in metal
Perfect for Victorian, Hollywood Regency, Bohemian, or eclectic décor. It looks spectacular filled with fresh or dried flowers, greenery, feathers, or even holiday ornaments. Many collectors use these as “bride’s baskets” or statement entryway pieces.
Condition: Very good vintage condition consistent with age and gentle use. No dents, bends, or structural damage. Natural tarnish and patina that polishes beautifully if desired (currently shows a lovely golden-bronze tone with darker accents in the etching). A few tiny age spots and light surface scratches only add to the character.
This is a large, impressive example – much bigger and heavier than most you’ll find. A true conversation piece!
Dimensions:
• Height with handle: 10.5"
