FAQs

A Victorian silver wickerwork basket is a decorative metalwork vessel crafted to imitate traditional woven cane or wicker basketry. Popular in late 19th-century England, these pieces showcased technical skill in silver casting, wirework, and chasing.

These vessels are crafted from sterling silver (925 purity) or silver plate using techniques such as casting, wire weaving, piercing, and repousse chasing to simulate natural woven textures and openwork patterns.

Authentic Victorian silver bears official British hallmark stamps including a makers mark, town mark, purity mark (lion passant), and date letter. The weight, crisp detail, and defined construction of the silverwork also indicate authenticity.

An antique silver basket serves as a tabletop accent on a sideboard, dining table, or desk. It can be displayed empty to highlight its structural metalwork or used to hold small decorative items.

Polish silver periodically with a soft microfibre cloth and specialized non-abrasive silver polish to clear oxidisation. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners and store in a dry environment wrapped in acid-free tissue or anti-tarnish cloth.
