Maker’s mark of John Jacobs
This is a wonderful example of a rococo basket that has pierced decoration all around the sides and to the foot. Rococo design was at the height of fashion in the mid-18th century and such fashions can been seen in the work of all the most famous silversmiths of the time such as Paul de Lamerie & George Wickes as well as John Jacobs.
