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

We would like to introduce you to some antique American baskets.

This is a work from the American company "MERIDEN BRITANNIA" in the late 19th century.
It is a square basket with a movable handle and four legs, and is beautifully decorated in various places.
It is silver plated on Britannia metal (pewter), and although the silver plating is thin in many areas, this makes it look even more antique.
