We are selling this very rare Aesthetic style Brides basket by Meriden Silverplate Co. This great centerpiece has two swallows on either side with a central pedestal that would have originally held a colorful bowl. The bowl has been replaced with this clear one that is just not right.

Condition: The surface on the silverplate is off like it has been painted in some areas. Center bowl is missing and the clear bowl that replaced it has chips and damages and is just not appropriate. Some dents and small damages to the silverplate.

Dimensions:
Silverplate Height 13 1/4 Inches 33.7 cm
Silverplate Width 16 Inches 40.7 cm
Silverplate Depth 4 7/8 Inches 12.4 cm
Bowl Height 3 1/2 Inches 8.9 cm
Bowl Width 8 1/8 Inches 20.5 cm


Condition:
Alterations: Restored
Imperfections: Needs Restoration
Condition Notes: The piece really needs a better glass bowl. The original would have been colorful and vibrant. The replacement also has some damages to the glass. The silverplate appears to possibly have had silver paint applied to it and some dents and bends.
