Lepelvaas met 12 lepels 1802

"Lepelvaas met 12 lepels," created by Cornelis Knuysting in 1802, is a silver spoon holder, a common household object from the 18th and 19th centuries. It is a beautiful example of Dutch silver craftsmanship. The ornate, openwork design of the bowl, and the elegantly curved handles of the spoons, demonstrate the attention to detail that characterized Knuysting's work. The holder is composed of two main parts, the bowl and the pedestal base. The bowl, shaped like a basket, features a delicate design of interwoven circles, while the base is a square with a beveled edge, adorned with a beaded border. The combination of these features creates a balanced and elegant design.
