The Story & Style This exquisite piece is crafted in the iconic "Gallia" style—a design language popularized by Maison Christofle in the mid-20th century. While likely produced in the late 1970s to early 1980s, it carries the DNA of European "Hotel Silver," designed to look substantial yet delicate. Woven wire silver-plate was the height of "Hostess Chic" in the 80s, intended for the sophisticated entertainer who wanted to display fresh Orchard fruit or warm crusty baguettes. Today, it has found a new life with the Heritage Core movement, where Gen Z and Millennial decorators use these baskets to hold everything from colorful matchbooks and seashells to "chaos" citrus on a marble countertop.
