Very Rare Pierced Brass Late 17th Early 18th Century Marriage Casket know as a \'Knottekistje\'.
Circa 1680
Pierced and engraved overall with scrolling arabesques, the pitched hinged lid surmounted by a shaped handle enlcosing a velvet-lined interior.
The velvet lining has for obvious age reasons beeen replaced. However, it is in super condition, with its original key.
Christies sales in Amsterdam sold a similar one as you can see in the enclosed photo, but theirs unfortunatley had all its orginal gilding polished off, where as this one has as you can see been untouched leaving a super aged finish and very attractive.
Total height including handle approx 13.5cm
Height excluding handle approx 10cm
Width approx 13cm
Depth approx 6.8cm
