<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 10327094, member: 111&quot;]This is a fruit stand, likely 1880s, though a few year either way possible.&nbsp; As suggested, a basket would have a handle - the term &#039;bride&#039;s basket&#039; came about because cake and/or fruit baskets, with or without glass inserts were popular wedding gifts, the earliest I&#039;ve seen &#039;bride&#039;s basket&#039; used in ads or catalogs is the 1910s for tall slender pieces intended for flower arrangements.</p><p><br /></p><p>Will check my references in a bit for your piece or one bearing similar elements, since manufacturers often used the same parts on various pieces...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
