Antique American Britannia Metal Basket with Movable Handle and Legs, MERIDEN BRITANNIA

We would like to introduce you to our collection of antique baskets from the United States.

This is a piece by the American company "MERIDEN BRITANNIA" from the late 19th century.
It's a rectangular basket with a movable handle and four legs, and is beautifully decorated throughout.
It is made of Britannia metal (pewter) and plated with silver, and the silver plating is worn off in many places, which further enhances its antique charm.

I hope this "once-in-a-lifetime" encounter will become a special moment for you!
