Antique Meiji Mixed Metal Basket Weave Tray Japanese Gold Silver Brass Copper
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:24087047 | Region of Origin: Japan |
Original/Reproduction: Antique Original | Age: 1850-1899 |
Color: Gold | Primary Material: Copper |
SIZE: Basket is 16 by 13 by 2 1/2 inches while the plaque alone is roughly 9 3/8 by 7 inches.
CONDITION: Background of plaque probably had a ...dark brown patina originally, matching the basket weave. See some bends in the copper basket. Plaque had been loose some years ago and I think I had a metal working friend remount it but could probably be popped loose if you wished to repatinate it as I see no blobs of solder holding it in place. Looks like a few strands of the copper basket hold it in place from the front. Priced to sell as a project as it is not in mint condition. Quality is hopefully evident as the detail of the metalwork is better than many similar items.
SHIPPING: USPS Priority Mail shipping.
