Are you a lover of extremely rare and thematically unique dollhouse silver?
This 19th-century silver miniature of an open carriage pulled by two lively goats (a goat cart) is an absolute dream for the serious collector of antique Dutch small silver.
This masterpiece was crafted and officially hallmarked in Alkmaar in 1894. The scene is full of atmosphere and dynamism: two expertly cast goats with detailed fur texture, horns, and characteristic beards pull the carriage via fine, twisted silver reins. In the richly designed open carriage sit two figures in historical 18th-century costumes. The coachman sits proudly at the front, holding up a long, perfectly straight silver whip.
Weighing no less than 48.0 grams and with a beautiful size, this is a very substantial, heavy, and luxurious collector's item that rarely comes onto the market in this specific design (with goats instead of horses).
The underside of the carriage floor features a razor-sharp and complete set of official Dutch silver hallmarks from the late 19th century:
  • Running Lion II: The official hallmark for second-grade silver (.835).
  • Minerva head P: The assay mark with the office letter P for Alkmaar.
  • Year letter K: This specific typeface dates the miniature exactly to the year 1894 (19th-century antique).
