Truly superb! This really is a fine looking Victorian basket, the exotic birds among the foliage are just exquisite - just looked at the parrot pecking at the hanging bunch of grapes!

Ideal for sugar, sweets etc and remaining in excellent condition throughout, this Victorian beauty is highly recommended!
