Are you looking for an extremely rare and nostalgic masterpiece for your collection of miniature silver?
This antique silver miniature of a traditional puppet show is a true masterpiece full of life and detail. The object was handcrafted by the famous Frisian silversmith Jan S. Zwanenburg from Sneek during his active period between 1900 and 1953.
The scene exudes pure nostalgia and atmosphere. On a beautifully engraved, diamond-shaped decorated base plate stands a detailed stone puppet theatre with a tiled roof. In the stage opening, the outlines of the puppets (Jan Klaassen and Katrijn) can be seen. In front of the theatre stands the puppeteer with a street organ around his neck, while a small trumpeter loudly announces the performance. Two children are seated on a bench in front, captivated by the spectacle.
This lively and collectible piece features official Dutch silver hallmarks on the top of the base plate:
  • The maker's mark JZ2 of Jan S. Zwanenburg
  • The legal Dutch sword mark (the tax mark for .835 silver purity)
Weighing 27.7 grams, this detailed little scene feels wonderfully solid. A unique cabinet piece and an absolute dream for the serious collector of antique Dutch dollhouse silver or small silver!
