Shabby chic Vintage metal floral basket with handle, green vines. VVC:

This basket is the epitome of what I envision when I think of the words "shabby chic". It obviously was once very beautiful, as it is hand crafted and designed with lattice 1/2 way up the sides with sequin type look in between, then top 1/2 if filled in but has a garland or roses 2 on each side, connected with a green leafy vine. The edge is scalloped, then a curved handle finishes off the top.
Measurements are 10" long by 7.5" wide and 14" high to top of handle, 4.5" to top of basket. There are many areas where the paint is scraped off around the edges and handle and it obviously has seen much use. It could be made like new again with some touch up paint, but if shabby chic means a "used" look, then this basket definitely fits. It still has beauty despite the flaws. I can see it with a fern planted in it or just sitting as a decorative basket.
There is no mark on the bottom for branding, just an old half torn up price tag. I have no idea of provenance or age, but it appears to possibly be vintage. Please use the pictures and item specifics for further details or let me know if you would like more pictures. See our return and shipping policy on store home page under "about". I can find no comps or similar items to determine more about age or value. Don't hesitate to use "make an offer".
I did not paint all the flaws, scrapes in the current paint, even though if someone wanted it, it would be fairly easy to do. I think it represents shabby chic more as it is and would make a beautiful basket for a live plant or fruit basket.
