The basket is on a spreading foot, with chased acanthus foliage above pierced latticework sides and with an applied scroll handle at each side, surmounted by a lion; engraved with a coat-of-arms and crest, width 35.6cm.
The arms are those of Cecil, impaling Chambers, for Brownlow, 8th Earl of Exeter (1701-1754), who married in 1724 Hannah Sophia, daughter and co-heiress of Thomas Chambers of London and Derby.
