AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Silver-plated metal fruit basket, featuring an elegant openwork structure and refined twisted-rope detailing.
The body is oval in shape and slightly flared, formed from a series of interwoven metal elements arranged horizontally and joined by vertical uprights. The twisted-cord motif lends the piece a pleasing decorative movement, enhancing the lightness and transparency of the structure.
The basket has an arched handle, also embellished with twisted-rope detailing along the sides, which connects harmoniously to the structure and underscores its elegance. The silver-plated finish, with attractive patina tones, enhances its reflections and fine workmanship.
Maker’s mark present on the reverse, illegible.
Dimensions: 38 x 26 x 24 cm.
Seller's Story
My name is Riccardo. I recently graduated in Art History from the University of Florence and I am passionate about porcelain. From tableware to artistic vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and creativity of great artisans and designers who manage to shape this fragile material, transforming a rough mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I began to become interested in the history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century tableware; today, every day, I deal with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. I love that every day I can discover more about the objects I find while traveling around Italy, always learning something new. I always try to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each of them has a story to tell: that of the creator, that of the one who preserved it, and that of the person who will give it a new life.
