AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautifully detailed and large Dutch silver miniature of a historic horse-drawn tram. This refined collector's item was produced in the second half of the 20th century (c. 1970-1976), a period in which Dutch silversmiths excelled at making quintessential Dutch miniatures.
The miniature shows an extremely detailed tram compartment with windows, spinning silver wheels, and an open forward balcony with railings. On this balcony stands the coachman who, with silver reins, guides the freely moving horse.
Hallmarks and Provenance:
Hallmark: Marked with the official Dutch silver hallmark 'the sword' on the flank of the horse, which denotes 2nd grade silver (.835).
Attribution: Attributed to the renowned Dutch silversmith Jan Weeda from Haarlem, who was known for this specific, high-quality model horse tram.
Specifications:
Weight: 61.00 grams (exactly weighed on a precision scale)
Material: 2nd grade silver (.835)
Condition: In very good and original condition with a beautiful authentic patina (light silver oxidation that beautifully accentuates the depth and details of the craftsmanship). The joints and the horse are fully intact.
A fantastic and heavy top piece for the collector of Dutch silver miniatures or enthusiasts of historic transport!
