Broek van Mr Ch. J. M.A. van Rooy, gouverneur van Limburg 1921 - 1962

This anonymous artwork, a pair of trousers with a gold braid design, is a fascinating example of the everyday objects that can be considered art. Created between 1921 and 1962, the trousers belonged to Ch. J. M.A. van Rooy, the governor of Limburg, and represent the distinctive attire of a high-ranking official. The gold braid running down the side seam adds a touch of grandeur and reflects the power and prestige associated with the governor’s position. This piece provides a glimpse into the material culture of the time and the sartorial expectations of individuals in positions of authority.
