Sterling silver baskets have been produced in the UK since the 17th century, becoming increasingly popular in the Georgian period for use as both beautiful and practical serving centrepieces for the table. Famous silversmiths such as Paul de Lamerie, Paul Storr, and Hester Bateman have all produced fine examples. From elaborate Rococo and Victorian designs, to the plainer Edwardian and Art Deco forms, there is a basket that will suit every table.
