Suikermandje 1789

"Suikermandje" (Sugar Basket) is a small, silver, and intricately crafted basket made in 1789 by Dutch silversmith Johannes Schiotling. The basket is an elegant example of Rococo style, featuring a delicate, openwork design and a floral motif, typical of this era. The basket is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. This small but exquisitely crafted piece exemplifies the skill and artistry of Dutch silversmiths during the late 18th century. The piece is small, measuring 9.6 cm high, 14.8 cm wide, and 11.1 cm deep, yet its delicate detail makes it a grand statement piece.
