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, manufactured by the Royal Dutch Metalworks Van Kempen, Begeer & Vos, probably 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 round ornaments and vertical bars. The top edge and base are finished with attractive pearl rims.
The silver carries Dutch hallmarks, including the passant lion with the figure 2 and the characteristic maker’s mark KB above V, crowned with a coronet. This maker’s mark is attributed to Van Kempen, Begeer & Vos and is documented for the period 1920–1931.
