History: When silver baskets first appeared around the 17th century they resembled the original, practical and rudimental woven straw or wooden baskets used in agriculture. By the late 18th century, under the influence of neo-classical design, baskets were replaced by lighter more delicate forms which were die-stamped and fly-pierced or made from silver wire. With changing menus and eating habits, not only were silver baskets used to hold bread, but more ornamented baskets, often with swing handles were used from the 19th century to serve cakes, sweetmeats and bon bons. During the Victorian era in the mid 1800’s, small baskets were used with centrepieces and epergnes to compliment and further ornament designs. The term "sweetmeat" dates back hundreds of years and refers to small confections such as candied fruit, gilded nuts, sugared comfits, and crystallized flowers
Note: No monogram or dents.
Condition: The overall condition of this piece is excellent. Beside the little normal wear, there is no damage to the sterling silver. This basket was recently polished and has been carefully inspected to guarantee the condition and authenticity.

The company was founded by the silversmith William Butler Durgin (July 29, 1833 - May 6, 1905). Durgin was born in Campton, New Hampshire, and from 1849-1853 apprenticed to Boston silversmith Newell Harding. In the 1840s Durgin moved back to Concord, where he opened a small shop making spoons opposite the Free Bridge Road. He incorporated as William B. Durgin Company in 1853, in 1854 added the manufacture of silverware, and in 1866 established a large brick factory on School Street. In 1905, after the death of both Durgin and his son, George F.
