Dutch Silver Auction

The initial stamp GDJ is the master mark of the silversmith. In Dutch silversmithing of that period, many silversmiths from centers such as Schoonhoven or Amsterdam worked with such three-letter monograms.
The walls and the lid of this box show detailed reliefs of persons (such as a woman with a basket on the side and a bust/portrait in a medallion on the lid).
This type of decoration with human figures or (outdoor) scenes often indicates an 18th-century model (around 1770-1790), made in cities such as Amsterdam.

Het initiaalstempel GDJ is het meesterteken van de zilversmid. In de Nederlandse zilversmeedkunst uit die tijd werkten veel zilversmeden uit centra zoals Schoonhoven of Amsterdam met dergelijke drieletterige monogrammen. 
De wanden en de deksel van dit doosje tonen gedetailleerde reliëfs van personen (zoals een vrouw met een mand op de zijkant en een buste/portret in een medaillon op de deksel). 
Dit type decoratie met menselijke figuren of (buiten)taferelen duidt vaak op een 18e-eeuws model (rond 1770-1790), gemaakt in steden zoals Amsterdam.
