EXTREMELY Rare French wire basket in remarkable condition to be carried on the arm of some lucky Bebe OR German character. It measures a diminutive 2 1/4" in length and is in a delicate oval shape. But what is on the bottom of the basket is the most divine part. As it is a portrait of a gorgeous Victorian lady which is hand painted in beautiful colors, and then over-laid with glass to protect it from the elements. She is painted in a glorious palette of pinks, green and sumptuous golds, with details that are almost unbelievable in this tiny size. These fine points include a golden brooch, fanciest hairpiece, a beautiful gold mirror which she is gazing into, and she even wears green earrings to match her dress! She is further surrounded by various foliage and standing on a bed of leaves! The intricacy of this piece must truly be seen in person to be appreciated. It is truly a work of art obviously intended for the most treasured of Bebes, as the artistic workmanship demonstrated on this accessory is most extraordinary.
The finely twisted wire handle is in perfect condition ready to be placed on the arm of whomever you feel is deserving of such a gifting.
