Fullerton London 1921 Sterling Silver Pierced Swing Handle Basket 618g
Museum-quality presence. Substantial antique weight. No monogram.
A true statement piece of early 20th-century English silver, this elegant pierced pedestal basket was assayed in London in 1921 and bears the D.F. mark recorded for David Landsborough Fullerton, associated with the respected firm of Josiah Williams & Co.
Gracefully elevated on a stepped pedestal foot and crowned with a refined swing handle, this basket exemplifies the decorative silver revival of the post-Edwardian period. The deeply pierced scrolling foliate work reflects exceptional craftsmanship, allowing light to pass through the openwork design while maintaining impressive structural integrity.
Weighing a remarkable 618 grams, this is not lightweight giftware — it is substantial, display-worthy sterling with undeniable presence.
