This is a rare antique Victorian wicker tray that is highly decorated with swags of gesso flowers with a beautifully gesso decorated top edge and tray handles. The bottom edge is decorated with gadrooning. The print is original to the piece and is under glass. It has some slight discoloration evident in the photos. The tray retains the original gold paint with some paint loss and age appropriate wear. This piece is in excellent origiional condition. The bottom is nice old worn floral tapestry fabric over wood.

Circa 1890's.
***Quoted from EBay’s Reviews & Guides: "Antique Barbola Gesso Baskets are not only a beautiful addition to your home, they are quite scarce and therefore highly sought after by collectors!" and "…antique pieces almost always have surface cracks, as well as some missing bits here and there. This is perfectly acceptable and does not affect value much, as long as not too much of the ornamentation is missing." |
