Tafelbel 1737

This small silver bell, crafted by Arnoldus van Geffen in 1737, is a fine example of Dutch silverwork. The bell's simple, elegant design and the smooth, polished finish demonstrate the silversmith's skilled craftsmanship. While its exact function is unknown, it likely served a practical purpose in a domestic setting, perhaps as a table bell or a decorative element. Its diminutive size adds to its charm and makes it a fascinating piece of Dutch decorative arts from the 18th century.
