This silverplate basket frame carries a story you can read right off the bottom, marked Barbour Bros Co and cast in the naturalistic, asymmetrical style the Aesthetic Movement loved. Wild rose blossoms climb a pierced panel behind a tall swing handle, and three scrolled legs end in trailing grape clusters. The glass bowl it once cradled is long gone, but the frame itself is a study in 1880s American silverwork.

This frame no longer holds its glass bowl liner. The insert this piece was made to cradle is not present. The well of the dish, where the maker's mark is struck, shows plate loss and dark oxidation concentrated at the center, with lighter tarnish and wear extending across the rest of the surface. The surface has not been polished. The pierced floral panel, swing handle, and tripod legs show no cracks, breaks, or repairs. Please review all photographs closely, as they form part of this description.

Important Info About Antique & Vintage

Every antique and vintage item we carry has lived a life before arriving in your home. These are not factory-made products. They are objects with history, character, and the marks of time.

Age-appropriate wear, patina, minor imperfections, and signs of previous use or repair are inherent to antique and vintage items and are not considered defects. These characteristics are part of what makes each piece unique and are often what give it its beauty and value.

We describe the condition of each piece as accurately as possible in the listing. If you have specific questions about a piece before purchasing, please reach out. We are always happy to provide additional photos or details.

Colors may appear slightly different on screen due to monitor settings and photography lighting. We do our best to represent each item accurately.

Descriptions, dates, attributions, materials, and measurements are provided in good faith and reflect our best assessment based on research, physical examination, and the information available to us. Antique and vintage pieces often carry incomplete or unverifiable histories. Where a detail is an assessment rather than a confirmed fact, it is identified as such. Measurements are approximate. All items are sold as-is, with the photographs and condition report governing.
