Victorian Brides Basket

Beautiful American made Victorian brides basket.  The fancy silver plated frame seems to be signed “S.C.P Co Conn” (see photo).    I tried to reference the maker with little success.  Most of the famous silver plating companies from the period were located in Conn.  The frame handle consists of a twisted rope and cable design with attached leaves.  The lovely case glass insert has a ruffled edge and exhibits various gradations of pink.  It is hand decorated with a gold and white enamel design.  The outside of the insert is white.  One of the better brides baskets we have carried! Circa: 1870   Dimensions: 12″H x 12″Diameter.    Finish: Mostly original tarnish on the frame with minor polishing     Price: $895.00
