Brander, behorend bij komfoor 1778

This 1778 silver brander, created by Dutch silversmith Wijnand Warneke, is a classic example of functional artistry. The brander, designed to be used with a komfoor (a type of stove), is a small, round, and elegantly proportioned object with a simple, rounded form. Its gleaming silver surface showcases the craftsmanship of the time. The inclusion of a rope wick is a testament to the practical nature of the piece. This silver brander is a testament to Warneke's skill, demonstrating both utility and aesthetic appeal in its design.
