An exquisite sterling silver reticulated candy basket by Dominick & Haff, dating to the late 1880s. This ornate piece is a striking example of late 19th-century American silver craftsmanship, featuring an intricate openwork design that surrounds all four sides and the base. The elaborate reticulation includes scrolling foliage, latticework, and delicate floral motifs, allowing light to pass through and creating a lace-like effect in silver. The basket is fitted with a rich cobalt blue glass liner that provides a beautiful contrast to the polished sterling frame. The liner is removable for effortless cleaning, making the piece as practical as it is decorative. The handle, in sleek, unadorned sterling silver, offers a visual counterpoint to the ornate body and folds down flat for compact storage or display. Measuring approximately 5 inches long by 4 inches wide and 3 inches high, this piece is ideal for serving candies, petits fours, or as a decorative accent. The craftsmanship reflects Dominick & Haff’s celebrated attention to detail and balance of beauty and function—a timeless treasure from the Gilded Age.
