Antique Victorian Bride's Basket Rockford Quadruple Plate Cherubs Rabbits Goats

Description

This is an exquisite antique Victorian silverplate bride's basket in Quadruple Plate by Rockford. A nice large, heavy piece. The relief decoration is unique - it appears to be a bacchanalia theme. Cherubs or fairies cavort with goats and rabbits, with an intertwined border of grape vines. Raised border with floral decoration. Pedestal has a border with dragonflies and fishes. Hinged handle with aesthetic floral decoration. This is a gorgeous piece and in exceptional condition - no silver loss, only a few very insignificant scratches. It is shiny and very showy. The bottom rim of the top section has a slight dent that is not obvious. The top is detachable - it screws to the bottom. The top is 9" in diameter at the top rim. 6 1/2" tall without handle. ​About 14" tall including handle.
