Description from the seller

Spanish Mid-Century Modern .915 Silver Fruit Basket with Integrated "Swan-Neck" Handle

Description:
A sleek and elegant Frutero (fruit or bread basket) demonstrating the transition from traditional Spanish silverwork to Mid-Century Modernism. The piece features a shallow, undulating lobed body with a polished, reflective finish. It is accented by a minimalist, sweeping curved handle that provides a striking silhouette.

Hallmarks:
- Origin: Spain, circa 1950s–1960s.
- Guaranteed Spanish solid silver by the five-pointed star (.915 purity)
- Plata de Ley (Sterling Silver) with a fineness of 915/1000.

Condition Report:
- Very good condition. The handle is structurally sound and securely attached. The mirror finish remains bright with minimal micro-scratching.
- Presented in original, uncleaned condition with a rich, natural oxidized patina that is commensurate with age.

- Approximate Weight: 325 g
- Style: Mid-Century Modern / Minimalist / Art Deco
