About the Item
Beautiful two-tier basket features painted, gilded images of an opera scene showing a victorious battle.

Original paint in the prettiest pale pink remains visible inside the basket. Elegant, wave like green borders decorate the basket, giving it visual interest. Such a basket were used in wealthy households to carry meals from the kitchen to the dining room which were located in separate buildings. This is a very large, spectacular basket with all original parts.
