HOLLYWOOD REGENCY WIRE BASKET WITH FLORAL DECOR, 1950s.
 
This silver plated Mid Century vintage fruit basket from the 1950s features a delicate yet robust construction made of artfully twisted metal wire. Produced in Western Europe, presumably France or Italy, this piece is crafted in the Hollywood Regency style. The basket features a distinctive rope twist curved handle. Hand painted colorful metal flowers and leaves in pink green and turquoise adorn the upper rim. This collector item is ideal for the kitchen or as a standalone piece on a sideboard. Whether in a loft, a modern living space or as a deliberate contrast to classic interiors it sets an accent and can be combined in many ways. The object has been completely cleaned and polished. This unique piece with character combines solid craftsmanship and timeless design.
