Doos bij plaquette van de XVIIIe Interparlementaire Vredesconferentie Den Haag, 1913 1913

This is a small, rectangular box, made in 1913 by the Koninklijke Utrechtsche Fabriek van Zilverwerken van C.J. Begeer, a Dutch silverworks company. It was made for the XVIII Interparlementaire Vredesconferentie Den Haag, the 18th Inter-Parliamentary Peace Conference held in The Hague, Netherlands. The box was designed to hold a commemorative plaque from the conference, which is now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The box is a simple yet elegant example of Dutch craftsmanship, reflecting the cultural significance of the conference, a landmark event in the international peace movement.
