{"product_id":"raymond-silverplate-wire-bread-basket-mid-century-oval","title":"Raymond Silverplate Wire Bread Basket, Mid Century Oval","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Raymond silverplate wire bread basket has an oval mid century form for serving bread, rolls, fruit, or small linens. It also works as bar cart decor, a table centerpiece, or a formal dining accent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is nothing unnecessary about this basket. No engraving, no ornament, no flourish. Just wire — dozens of parallel lines drawn from a solid polished center to a continuous oval rim — and the discipline to stop there. Mid-Century design at its most honest. The form does exactly what it promises and nothing more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaymond Silverplate produced pieces in this geometric wire tradition during the height of American modernist design. The parallel wire construction was a signature of the era — functional sculpture that looked as considered on a sideboard as it did on a dining table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the table: Fill it with bread rolls for a dinner party and it earns its place immediately. Use it for fruit, croissants, crackers, or cocktail napkins on a bar cart. Style it empty on a sideboard — the wire shadow it casts under a lamp is its own decoration. A favourite of food and product photographers for its graphic, light-catching structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 12 inches x 7.5 inches \/ 30.5 cm x 19 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: Individual parallel wires, continuously formed, radiating from solid polished center disc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase: Footed solid silverplate base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaker's mark: Raymond Silverplate — stamped in script on underside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Silverplated metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: Mid-Century Modern, circa 1960s–1970s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVery good vintage condition. There is a hairline crack on the base which does not affect the structural integrity of the piece — the basket sits level, holds its form, and functions fully as intended.
