This is a beautiful pedestal type compote or basket. It has a handle with cutwork design and etched pelican? or bird and vine in the raised center of the inside. It makes a beautiful centerpiece with fruit or decorative balls. Used many times with silver candlesticks and very much admired.
Bed was very dirty. I cleaned it with Murphy's Oil Soap and then took the pictures. I'd like to know if it has any value before I decide if I'm going to refinish it as it is or convert it to a regular bed frame.
