Zoutvat van zilver op voetstuk 1804

This silver salt cellar, created in 1804 by Dutch silversmith Francois Marcus Simons, is a fine example of Neoclassical design. The piece features two bowls supported by three feet each, placed on a rectangular base, and a central column topped with a lamp. The Neoclassical style is evident in the symmetry, simplicity, and use of classical motifs, such as the lamp and the decorative elements on the column. This salt cellar, likely intended for use in a wealthy household, showcases the craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities of early 19th-century Dutch silversmithing.
