Are you looking for a unique and historic masterpiece for your collection?
This highly detailed silver miniature flying reel is an 18th-century masterpiece. Crafted by the renowned Amsterdam silversmith Hendrik Duller, this object showcases pure craftsmanship in miniature. The ingenious flying reel is divided into two parts and can be moved up and down, further highlighting the rarity and playfulness of this silver object.
This antique miniature is fully hallmarked with the Amsterdam city mark, the year letter U (for 1779) and the sought-after master mark HD of Hendrik Duller. An absolute collector's item in excellent condition!
Hendrik Duller was a leading and specialized Amsterdam silversmith who was considered an absolute master in the so-called 'kleinwerk'. While many of his contemporaries focused on large silver pieces such as trays and baskets, Duller excelled in the creation of refined silver doll parts, detailed toys, and luxurious snuff boxes.
His working period in the capital spanned from 1776 to 1811. Objects by his hand are characterized by an exceptional eye for detail, mechanical ingenuity, and a distinctive, refined finish. This particular miniature dates from 1779 (year letter U), meaning that Duller created this early in his independent career as a master silversmith. Hendrik Duller's silver miniatures are highly sought after by international collectors due to their high quality and rarity and can be found in prominent museum collections, including the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
