Description: Antique Vintage Primitive Handmade Folk Art Metal Butter Knife Bread Basket 15.5" RareRare, and indeed unique, original antique/vintage Primitive Style Metal Folk Art Butter Knife Bread/Fruit Basket. This clever, handmade all metal oval-shaped basket is made using 32 butter knives, decorated with fancy designed handles, each gently curved to shape and form the sides of the basket. They are each attached on the bottom to the side of the frame which has a heavy reinforced open looped metal wire that forms the bottom of the basket and the four feet. This decorative basket can be used to hold bread or other baked goods, real or artificial fruit, or as a container for a variety of other decorative purposes, or simply used for decorative display as is, just to fully appreciate the beauty of this unique art form. This handcrafted vintage piece is unmarked but it appears old and is reminiscent in style to that of the Victorian/Edwardian era. Not sure what the silver-colored metal is. The knives are non-metallic while the frame and wire bottom are magnetic. Measures approx. 15 1/2" L x 7 1/2" W x 6 1/2" H. In good vintage condition with minor wear as appropriate from age/use. Please see pictures for more details.
