George III Bread Basket by Nathaniel Smith & Company, Sheffield, 1806
About the Item
An extremely rare & unusual George III antique silver Bread Basket made in Sheffield in 1806 by Nathaniel Smith & Company.
The Basket has a solid plain stepped base which rises to very unusual diamond shaped wire work sides. The swing handle is also pierced and displays a vacant cut cornered cartouche. The basket is very well made, as when the handle is pushed down it perfectly fits into a space, so it is not seen. The base of the basket is engraved with a contemporary Crest and the base and handle are both well marked. This example is of a good gauge and weight and is of the finest quality in terms of design and production. Unusual bread baskets were made in Sheffield at this date, however this is the first time we have ever seen this very rare design.

- Rare Garniture of George III Baskets, London, 1778, Philip FreemanBy Robert HennellLocated in London, GBThis extremely rare and fine garniture of George III neo classical baskets were made in London in 1778 by Philip Freeman. The Baskets all stand on a square pedestal foot which is pierced with horizontal pails and roundels, as well as being engraved with prick dot designs. The Classical vase shaped main bodies are also pierced with horizontal pails and roundels and the front of each piece displays a disc cartouche engraved with a contemporary Crest. The rim and swing handle, instead of being decorated with beading, are unusually engraved with various prick dot and bright cut bands, including stylised flower heads. Each basket is in excellent condition, has a blue glass liner and is fully marked in the foot. The baskets are of a very rare decorative design and Philip Freeman was known for producing unusual baskets and pails, although his work does not survive in great quantity.

The smaller baskets would have been used for cream and the larger ones for sugar, however it is extremely rare to find a garniture. They are almost always found singly or in pairs, in sizes. A very rare Classical garniture of outstanding quality. Measures: Height of the sugar basket, to the rim: 5.4 inches, 13.5cm. Height of the cream basket...Category
