This small, silver "Stoof" (meaning "stove" in Dutch) was created by Dutch silversmith Boele Rijnhout sometime between 1649 and 1689. The stoof is a miniature, portable stove, used for warming hands or small objects. The intricate design on the box consists of a geometric pattern of diamonds and circles, and its top features a perforated surface for allowing heat to pass through. This piece is a fine example of the decorative silverwork of 17th-century Netherlands.
