This antique silver-plated cake basket originates from around 1920 and follows the Victorian style. The piece has a reflective silver finish and features a raised swing handle, a scalloped rim, a fluted pedestal base, and ornate chased floral scrollwork across the bowl. Visible details include embossed panels on the interior sides, intricate openwork foliage along the border, and a heavily shaped round foot that mirrors the undulating edge of the vessel. The dimensions are 25 cm across and 30 cm high including the handle. In a modern home, this serving item sits as a striking centrepiece on a dining table, or functions as a decorative display holder on a sideboard in a traditional country house setting.

FAQs

A cake basket is a decorative metal serving dish, typically featuring a swing handle and pedestal foot, designed in the 18th and 19th centuries to present baked goods or fruit at formal dining tables.

Cake baskets were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, Old Sheffield plate, or electroplated nickel silver (EPNS), often adorned with cast, chased, or repousse ornamentation.

Authentic pieces usually feature makers marks or EPNS stamps on the underside, demonstrating age-appropriate surface wear, natural tarnish within recessed details, and secure hinges on the swing handle.

This object can function as a dining table centrepiece, a decorative fruit vessel on a kitchen island, or a key tray on a hallway console table.

Clean gently using a soft cotton cloth and a specialized non-abrasive silver polish, avoiding harsh chemicals or automatic dishwashers to preserve the original layer of silver plating.
