This detailed and exceptionally heavy silver miniature of an open carriage with horse, coachman, and noble lady is a masterpiece of Frisian silversmithing from the first half of the twentieth century.
This miniature was crafted by the renowned Sneek silversmith J.S. Zwanenburg (active between 1900 and 1953). The object is full of hand-worked details and dynamism. The sides of the carriage feature elegant openwork rococo scrollwork, and the back shows a beautifully chased relief of a horseman on horseback within a refined beaded border. At the front of the carriage sits the coachman with his whip in hand, connected by twisted silver reins to a powerfully galloping horse. Under the richly decorated canopy at the back sits a detailed passenger figure.
Weighing no less than 61.4 grams, this is one of the heavier and most luxurious miniatures of its kind.
The carriage is marked on the bottom plate inside with Dutch silver hallmarks that guarantee its authenticity:
  • Dutch Sword: The official assay mark for second grade silver (.835).
  • Maker's Mark JZ2: The recognizable and sharp stamp of J.S. Zwanenburg in a horizontal hexagon.
