Description from the seller
Magnificent basket / centerpiece from the late 19th century, typical of the Jugendstil movement born in Germany in the 1890s.

A true testament to German artistic craftsmanship of the Belle Époque, perfect for lovers of authentic antiques.
Details & Dimensions :
Length: 35 cm
Width: 23 cm
Height (excluding the handle): 8 cm
Handle: movable, functional and also gilded.
Condition:
Nice vintage condition with a superb antique patina. Presence of oxidation traces and wear under the gilding that attest to its 130 years of history and add to its charm (be sure to look at the photos of the top and bottom).
Perfect as a centerpiece, a chic catchall in an entryway, or to enrich a cabinet of curiosities decor.
Fast shipping and highly secure packaging (bubble wrap + sturdy carton).
