AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful antique silver brooch with an Old Dutch scene “the tooth puller”.
A design by Dahlia Smederij / Dal & Schoorl in Amsterdam (active 1920–1958)
The relief (repoussé work) depicts a genre scene inspired by a 17th-century painting by the Dutch master Jan Steen.
A traveling quack doctor or charlatan who forcefully extracts a tooth from a young patient, surrounded by curious onlookers.
C-clasp.
Stamped with Dutch standard silver marks:
- Walking Lion for the silver fineness.
- Minerva head from the assay office.
- Date letter “I” for 1943.
- Master mark “D-Dahlia-S”
This type of jewelry is a beloved collectible for enthusiasts of antique Dutch applied art from the early 20th century.
Dimensions see photos.
Weight is 24.42 grams.
After decades of careful collecting I have decided to part with (part of) my collection. I want these remarkable objects to find a place with a new owner who understands the value of historical preservation. It is time that these pieces receive the attention they deserve, so they will be preserved for the distant future as well.
I will ensure extremely careful packaging and insured shipping.
