John J. Gredler Works of Art

Dutch Baroque Style Silver Mandolin Flask Perfumer

$495.00

Call For Location | 203-325-8070


6.5" h x 2" w x 1" d

Dutch silver flask in the form of a mandolin with intricate Baroque style decoration, including cranes and a castle among floral arabesques on the front. The reverse depicting a charming scene influenced by Dutch old master genre paintings of two men with two dogs in a fenced yard surrounded by detailed foliage and trees. Complete with a fret and six individual silver wire strings. A tour de force in craftsmanship. No discernible hallmarks that I can see. Whether originally intended as a flask, a caster or a perfumer, it's surely is a whimsical and quite unusual piece.

Circa 1890
