"Cassette met vierentwintig lepels en dertig vorken" is a wooden box created by Dutch artist Roelof Helweg between 1806 and 1832. The box is currently held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and showcases Helweg's craftsmanship in woodcarving. The dark wood finish, paired with the simple design, makes the box an exemplary piece of the Neoclassical style popular during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The title, translating to "Case with twenty-four spoons and thirty forks," hints at the original purpose of the box, highlighting the practical application of art during the period.
