Standaard voor een spiegel van een toiletdoos 1700 - 1800

This "Standaard voor een spiegel van een toiletdoos" (Stand for a Toilet Box Mirror), created by an anonymous artist in the 17th or 18th century, is a beautiful example of decorative craftsmanship from the Netherlands. The stand, crafted from wood and decorated with gold leaf, is a simple yet elegant structure, featuring a rectangular base with two drawers and a tall, ornate frame for a mirror. The surface of the drawers is adorned with a delicate design of branches and leaves, while the frame showcases elaborate details, including scrolling motifs and a circular centerpiece. This piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers insight into the artistry and design aesthetics of the time.
