Schuurplank 1761

"Schuurplank" is a small, silver, wall-mounted box made in 1761 by Johannes van (I) Somerwil. The box is an example of Rococo-era craftsmanship with delicate, ornate details. It is small, measuring only 9.2 cm in length, 1.8 cm in width, and 1.5 cm in depth. The box features a small, rectangular compartment at the bottom with a small hole in the center. The top half of the box is a decorative plate with a heart-shaped cutout. These boxes were likely used to hold small, personal items, showcasing the artistry of silversmiths in the 18th century.
