For collectors of exclusive Dutch maritime miniature silver, we offer this beautiful, antique silver miniature of a traditional Dutch 'tjalk' (barge).
This refined historic vessel was crafted between 1906 and 1924 with the utmost attention to detail by the world-renowned silversmithy H. Hooijkaas from Schoonhoven.
The miniature shows the characteristic profile of the Dutch flat-bottomed boat. The vessel is very complete and meticulously detailed with sails (mainsail and jib), finely tensioned silver rigging, movable leeboards on the hull, and a waving weather vane at the masthead. The deck structure (cabin) and rudder blade complete its maritime appearance.
Weighing 20.8 grams and with a generous size of 8 x 8 cm, this is a fantastic cabinet piece for a display case.
The object is in excellent antique condition with a beautiful patina, built up over the years, which wonderfully accentuates the details.
Clearly hallmarked with Dutch silver marks:
  • Maker's Mark: HH on the rudder blade (H. Hooijkaas, Schoonhoven)
  • Fineness Mark: The old silver mark 'sword' (second grade silver, 835/1000)
