Description: A delightful antique silver swing handled basket with pierced sides, notable for it's very small size, hence our description as miniature. The basket is rectangular, with the 2 long sides curved, so the ends of the basket are higher than the centre. The 4 sides are beautifully pierced and engraved, with scrolls, foliage and flowers, this is a very decorative basket. The swing handle is also decorated, with 7 pierced ovals across the top. The basket is clearly hallmarked, with hallmarks hidden in the decoration, the makers mark is partially blurred, but the heart shaped punch with faint WB over clear Ld is sufficient to confirm the maker as Williams Ltd, who worked between 1902 and 1929. The handle is also hallmarked, and the base is stamped with a registration mark Rd 528841, which shows the design was protected. This basket is too large to be a true toy miniature, but is smaller than a bon - bon basket, it would be suitable for jewelry on a dressing table, or for small sweets.
