In fact, the museum's catalogu ...click for details

This spectacular large German 800 silver swing handle wedding basket has beautiful detailing and dates between 1890 and 1920. What's even more unusual about it is that it has a custom-made glass liner that is in perfect condition. Slightly ovoid in shape, the elaborate openwork detailing with cabuchon panels shows a man and a woman in the garden on each side. It is a bit longer than it is wide, and flares from the base to the top with a basketweave rim detail over a scalloped edge. The baske ...click for details
This beautiful German sterling silver miniature sleigh, pulled by a reindeer, serves as a salt cellar due to the glass insert which, incidentally, is devopid of chips.

Dimensions are 6-1/2 inches in length x 1-3/8 inches in width x 2-3/4 inches in height. The glass inse ...click for details
