Description from the seller
Antique silver bread basket by Van Kempen, Begeer & Vos – circa 1924 – 377 grams
Offered is a beautiful, large antique Dutch silver bread basket, crafted by Royal Dutch Gold and Silver Manufacturers Van Kempen, Begeer & Vos, presumably in the twenties of the last century.
The basket is made in second-quality silver (833/1000) and features an elegant oval, boat-shaped form. The sides are richly pierced with a geometric openwork pattern of circular ornaments and vertical bars. The upper edge and the foot are finished with fine pearl rims.
The silver bears Dutch hallmarks, including the passant lion with the number 2 and the characteristic master mark KB above V, crowned with a royal symbol. This master mark is attributed to Van Kempen, Begeer & Vos and is documented for the period 1920–1931.
