This Art Nouveau swing-handled basket dates from 1890 and is executed in silver plate and glass. The piece combines a vibrant green glass bowl with a reflective silver-plated pedestal base, pierced rim band, and an ornate, arched swing handle topped by a pierced filigree crest. Visible details include vertical moulded panels on the green glass body and decorative patterning along the base and rim. It measures 32 cm high, 19 cm wide, and 19 cm deep. In a contemporary interior, this decorative bowl serves as a striking display item on a dining room sideboard or a living room console table. It functions well as a standalone decorative accent or can hold small seasonal items, bringing a touch of Victorian and Gothic design styling to traditional and eclectic room schemes alike.

FAQs

Art Nouveau metalwork from this era is defined by flowing organic lines, stylized plant motifs, and whiplash curves. European manufacturers like WMF incorporated electroplated Britannia metal and nickel silver alloys alongside tinted glass liners to create functional decorative tableware.

These pieces were typically constructed from electroplated nickel silver or silver-plated Britannia metal, often paired with hand-blown or pressed coloured glass liners in shades of green, yellow, or cranberry.

Authentic WMF pieces generally display stamped makers marks on the base or rim, such as the running ostrich, WMF, EPNS, or specific plating indicators like I/O or OX. The quality of the cast relief decoration and crispness of the pierced metalwork also distinguish original production.

A silver and glass basket works effectively as an accent on a sideboard, console table, or open shelving. Placing the vessel where natural light hits the coloured glass liner highlights the contrast between the metal frame and transparent material.

Remove the glass liner before cleaning and wash it gently in lukewarm water with mild detergent. Clean the silver-plated metal frame using a soft cloth and non-abrasive silver polish, taking care to avoid harsh chemicals that could strip the electroplated surface.
