About this work

In the seventeenth century, highlights in life were preferably commemorated with gold and silver objects. This gold cutlery celebrates the marriage of Amsterdam burghers Anna Roelofs de Vrij (1589-1626) and Jacob Jacobs Bicker (1581-1626). Anna received this gift from her groom in 1608. It was cherished in the family circle and passed down from generation to generation.
