Stand for écuelle 1738 - 1750

This "Stand for écuelle," a silver dish crafted by Dutch silversmith Abraham Drentwett IV between 1738 and 1750, showcases the intricate Rococo style prevalent in the mid-18th century. The stand is adorned with delicate, undulating edges, featuring a continuous, engraved floral motif that encircles the smooth, reflective surface. This piece, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, exemplifies the artistry of Dutch silverwork during the Rococo period.
