Condition Report
The basket appears in quite a tarnished state and would benefit from a clean and polish. It displays general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. Some breaks in the decoration. Further dints and knocks and some of the silver wires are quite bent. Likely small repairs. The hallmarks are clear and legible, however the maker's mark is very distorted. Replacement liner.
