FAQs

Swing-handled silver baskets gained immense popularity during the Victorian era, often utilised on dining tables for serving sugar, sweets, or small fruits, frequently paired with colourful glass liners.

These pieces typically combine British sterling silver, crafted using piercing and cast techniques, with blown cobalt or sapphire blue glass inserts.

Authenticity is verified by locating British hallmark stamps on the silver body and handle, which indicate the assay office, date letter, and sterling fineness standard.

Placed upon a sideboard, mantelpiece, or coffee table, it adds a touch of historical contrast, especially when catching natural light through its coloured glass.

The silver frame should be cleaned with a specialised non-abrasive polish, while the removable glass liner can be washed gently in warm soapy water to avoid thermal shock.
