Antique Edwardian Silver Pot Pourri Basket

1900 - 1920
Description

This is a very pretty solid sterling silver-lidded pot pourri basket.

It is hallmarked on the side for London 1908, with the maker's mark of the highly esteemed William Comyns. The pretty grill top is in excellent condition. The handle is fixed and the top attaches (not very well!) to the ornate, boat-shaped crystal base. As a precaution, I wouldn't recommend picking it up with the handle - there is a small amount of damage to the glass rim at one end, which I suspect has arisen from the base falling away from the top whilst being carried.

Dimensions:

Length: 9cm

Width: 5cm

Height: 7.5cm

Complimentary gift wrapping is available on request.

Post and packaging are free within the UK. Overseas buyers please e-mail for postage costs and please note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying.

FAQs

An Edwardian silver pot pourri basket is a decorative container produced between 1901 and 1910, designed to hold dried flowers and herbs while allowing fragrance to escape through a pierced silver lid or framework.

These items typically feature a glass bodyoften cut or mouldedfitted with sterling silver or silver-plated mounts, handles, and intricate pierced lids.

Authentic British pieces bear hallmarks indicating the silver purity, town of assay, makers mark, and a date letter corresponding to the Edwardian reign between 1901 and 1910.

Position the basket on a console table, vanity unit, or coffee table, where the combination of glass and silver reflects ambient light while functioning as a refined catch-all or decorative accent.

Clean the glass carefully with mild soap and warm water, and gently polish the silver mount using a non-abrasive silver cloth to prevent oxidisation without damaging surrounding glass elements.
