This delicate piece of 'kleinwerk' is a beautiful example of Dutch craftsmanship from the early nineteenth century. The basket is constructed from elegantly curved silver spokes and is finished on top with a detailed foliated rim. The smoothly moving handle is provided with a classic, sleek filigree edge.
The underside of the solid base shows the complete, razor-sharp Dutch hallmark from the early 19th century. The basket bears the sought-after master mark JW above a plus sign (IVW+) of the famous Amsterdam silversmith Jacob van Wijk Sr., who worked between 1819 and 1846. With the year letter M for 1821 this rare object dates from his early master period. The object is in fantastic, authentic condition.
