"Two Boxes" is a silver box crafted by Johannis Logerath in 1788. The box is decorated with delicate engravings of oval frames and garlands, a common motif in 18th-century silverwork. Its modest size and refined detailing suggest it was likely intended for personal use, perhaps for holding jewelry or other valuables. The box's simple elegance exemplifies the craftsmanship of the period, showcasing both the artist's skill and the enduring appeal of silver as a material.
Comments
Plain silver boxes were produced in large numbers in Amsterdam. The round box was meant to hold rusks, and the square one rolled wafers, so-called ‘oublies’. An inscription on the bottom of each box mentions that the two Stinsta sisters gave them in 1788 to their aunt and uncle, who had been their guardians for some years.
