This elegant Edwardian silver-plated cake basket was manufactured by the Sheffield silversmiths John Jenkins & Herbert Timm (Jenkins & Timm), dating between 1892 and 1915. The footed oval dish features a beautifully crafted pierced border decorated with intricate openwork scrolling foliage and floral motifs, all framed by a classic beaded rim. The piece is fitted with a central moveable swing handle topped with a clean ball finial. The base is clearly stamped with the manufacturer's mark consisting of the gothic-style initials "J&TS" (signifying Jenkins & Timm, Sheffield) alongside their official registered trade mark of a crossed cutlass and rifle. Directly below the hallmarks, the factory catalog model number 9144 is explicitly engraved.
