Victorian Pink & White Ruffled Art Glass Bridal Basket with Pairpoint Silver-Plated Stand

Victorian Pink & White Ruffled Art Glass Bridal Basket with Pairpoint Silver-Plated Stand

A beautiful example of Victorian decorative artistry, this exceptional antique bridal basket combines a stunning pink and white ruffled glass bowl with an elaborately decorated silver-plated stand, creating a wonderfully romantic centerpiece.

The generously sized glass bowl features a delicate pink overlay with soft white coloring and a beautifully ruffled rim. Its graceful, flowing form contrasts beautifully with the ornate silver-plated metalwork, giving the basket the elegant and elaborate appearance so characteristic of Victorian decorative arts.

The substantial silver-plated stand is richly detailed and bears several interesting manufacturer's and retailer's marks, including Pairpoint MFG & Co., S. F. Myers & Co., and The Globe. It is additionally marked "Quadruple Plate" and numbered 2173, providing appealing details for collectors of Victorian silver plate and antique art glass.

Victorian bridal baskets were popular decorative and presentation pieces during the late 19th century, often displayed with flowers or used as elegant table centerpieces. Today, they remain highly desirable for their romantic designs and the beautiful combination of decorative glass and ornate metalwork.

This particularly striking example would make a wonderful centerpiece on a dining table, sideboard, or entryway console. Whether displayed on its own or filled with an arrangement of flowers, it brings a lovely sense of Victorian elegance and charm to any interior.

 

Condition

Good antique condition with expected signs of age and use.

There is a small chip to the pink glass overlay on one of the ruffles, clearly shown in the last photograph. This is relatively inconspicuous and does not detract significantly from the overall beauty of the piece.

The silver-plated stand displays minor wear and natural patination consistent with its age, adding to its antique character and charm.

Please review all photographs carefully, particularly the photograph showing the small chip, as they form an important part of the description. Additional photographs are always available upon request.
