Share

Description

An elegant Chinese Export silver basket with an interesting mix of East and West in the decoration.

The chrysanthemum ( that blooms through the frost) is the main motif but the border and star burst line around the oval centre is more Western in form.

Plum blossom – for new beginnings – has been worked on the convex stand

Perfect as a wedding or anniversary gift  it could even have been used to hold the bridal flowers at a wedding
