Description from the seller
Antique Silver Pierced Basket with Beaded Rim – 835 Silver – Netherlands Import – Early 20th Century
Elegant antique silver basket, finely crafted in pierced (ajour) silver, decorated with an attractive combination of floral scrollwork and geometric lattice motifs, and finished with a refined beaded (pearl) rim.
The basket is made of solid silver (835/1000) and bears the Dutch import hallmark “ZII”, indicating that it was imported into the Netherlands and officially assayed as 835 silver in the early 20th century. The maker’s mark “DA+” in a rectangular cartouche refers to a continental silversmith.
This type of basket was traditionally used as a bread basket, fruit basket, or table center piece, combining decorative elegance with practical use. Its openwork design allows light to pass through beautifully, making it a charming addition to both classic and modern interiors.
