19th Century Papier Mache BasketA 19th century papier mache basket with a folding metal handle. A very charming and decorative item, typical of its Victorian origin. The ground is beautifully painted with roses, lily of the valley, forget me nots and violets surrounded by a gilt border. The condition is generally good, there are two very small chips to the underside, these are not detrimental to the appeal of this pretty object. c. 1880 Diameter: 8. 75" (22cm) Height of handle: 5.
