Greetings All,
I was wondering if anyone out there has information on mid -19th century Champagne Baskets. These where the shipping containers associated with imported wines. So far I have some period engravings and an occupational Daguerreotype of a gentleman holding what "may" be Champagne Baskets. Any help would be greatly apperciated. I'm most interested in any surviving examples or information on size of the baskets and product markings on the outside of the baskets. Thanks.
Yours,
