Vintage Silver plated Bridal Basket With Swing Handle- Fruit-Easter

Wonderful vintage display piece. This silver plated open weave basket is sturdy and has a handle that swings to either side. The diameter is about 10 inches. This is vintage piece, I believe from the 1030s or 40s. Bride's baskets became popular in the early 19th century as a wedding accessory. During the church service, the flower girl made her way down the aisle, strewing blossoms from a tightly clutched silver basket . Later they were common as a table setting decoration on the holidays. They can be used to hold a (glass) serving bowl. A-116 New to Poshmark?
