De Jubilaeum Roset 1863

"De Jubilaeum Roset," created by Johannes Mattheus van Kempen in 1863, is a small, delicate piece of art housed in the Rijksmuseum. It showcases a silver rosette with a heart-shaped design, featuring the words "Oranje Boven" (Orange Above) and a stylized image of a crown and a rose. This rosette, likely intended as a celebratory symbol, represents the Dutch royal family and their supporters during a period of national pride. Its small size and intricate details highlight the craftsmanship and artistry of the time.
