This silver fork, crafted by Dutch silversmith Roelof Helweg in 1806, is a prime example of Neoclassical design. Its simple, elegant form, with a rounded handle and a slightly curved stem, reflects the ideals of clarity and balance favored in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The fork is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, showcasing the artistry and craftsmanship of Dutch silversmithing during the Neoclassical period. The fork's understated design makes it a functional yet beautiful object, reflecting the refined taste of the era.
