Dutch needle case, 18th century? Maker?

Post by Vantlicht »

Dutch needlecase from the 18th century? With only a makersmark. Looks like a Frisian item, but I am not sure.
Help would be appreciated!

Empire style needle case, maker's mark only points to Friesland. Bunch of grapes for Allert Wijngaarden, born in 1724 and died in 1808. Master from 1748.

Looking at your website I believe you show a brandy bowl and a Frisian silver decorative spoon/commemorative spoon with the same makers mark.

Hi Peter,

Many thanks. Yes indeed, but sometimes I cannot see the difference between van Manen or Wijngaarden, but my first thought was indeed also van Wijngaarden. Again thanks for the determination!

Hendrik van Manen (in English Mane), master mark horse head with neck without mane. Hendrik van Manen. Born in 1739 in Sneek. Master in Sneek in 1764. Last mention in 1800: in the guild register of foremen and cashiers of Sneek of 4 Aug. 1800 the name H. van Manen appears. It is mentioned that he has been a silversmith for 36 years.
