Basket 1770 - 1776

This silver "Basket," created by American silversmith Myer Myers between 1770 and 1776, is an exquisite example of Rococo-influenced craftsmanship. The intricate openwork design of the basket, featuring a woven handle and delicate floral motifs, reflects the stylistic trends of the era. The piece, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, is a testament to the artistic skill of Myers, whose work is renowned for its refined beauty and elegant execution.
