Are you looking for a unique and characterful piece of antique Dutch miniature silver?
This beautiful silver miniature of a stork on a stable, octagonal base is a rare find. The object was handcrafted in 1918 by the renowned silversmith Jan Postmus from Hoorn and Alkmaar.
The stork is very detailed and vividly depicted, standing on one leg while holding a snake in its beak. The base is elegantly finished with a refined zigzag edge (engraved trim). This miniature is exceptionally complete and beautifully hallmarked on the top of the base.

  • The year letter I (for the year 1918)
