An extra special Georgian (also 1830s) basket…. It is engraved with ‘Souvenir’ to the lid…. The French for ‘memory’. This message is reenforced by the presence of the turquoise - the colour of turquoise was used to symbolise the colour of the forget-me-not flower. Modelled in high carat, three colour gold. The reeded handles are hinged for easy access to the inside of the basket. Rays to the bottom.
