Lebolt Sterling Silver Arts & Crafts Basket, Chicago, IL, c. 1915

This early example from Lebolt is a lovely example of Chicago arts & crafts silver in an uncommon form. Four recesses create a lovely and modern sectional serving dish. A shaped, floriform edge has an applied wire which gives it definition and strength. An applied strap handle with simple cutouts on the top splits where it attaches to the bowl. Completing the stunning look is a shimmering, hammered surface.

This arts & crafts sectional serving dish is marked underneath 'Lebolt' below their insignia and 'HAND MADE/ STERLING/ 588'. It is also scratched with the date '7/23/15.' It measures 10.25 inches wide from corner to corner by 6 inches to the top of the handle.  It weighs 17.90 troy ounces and is in very good/ excellent antique condition with slight scratches on the interior surface from use.
