Antique Vintage Silver Plated Basket Tray - Homan Silver Plate Co. - Victorian Quadruple Silver Plate

This listing is for the basket tray only and your purchase does not include the books, coral, or crystal, styled in the listing photos. Homan Silver Plate Co. operated between 1896 and 1904 producing fine silver plate tea sets and specialty pieces. After 1904 they changed their name to Homan Mfg. This particular basket tray is often referred to as a wedding basket, Bride's Basket, or a Bride Cake Basket. We really love the perfectly tarnished and patinaed surface that is full of character. The fluted rim and delicate floral work really make this piece stand out as the quality craftmanship that dominated manufacturing in the 1800s and early 1900s. With its both masculine and feminine details, this makes for a perfect accent in the home, studio or office. It can be used as a catch all on an entry way table, a storage tray for vanity items, or a great way to display and elevate a mini book collection, your favorite crystal or a stunning statement piece. The bottom of the tray is embossed with the Homan Silver Plate makers mark and the tray is in overall really beautiful antique condition with expected wear consistent with antique age, but no major flaws to disclose. It is heavy duty weighted construction made of excellent quality.
