Steelpan 1739

"Steelpan" is a 1739 silver saucepan by Frederik van (II) Strant, a Dutch silversmith born in 1709 and died in 1754. The pan features a rounded, slightly domed body with a wooden handle that is characteristic of the period. The small size of the pan suggests that it was used for domestic purposes, potentially for heating or serving food. The piece showcases the craftsmanship and artistry that were hallmarks of Strant's work, and reflects the decorative styles of the 18th century in the Netherlands.
