Basket, The oval basket rests on four cast feet, shaped like bird claws that comprise a ball. The flat bottom is enclosed in the straight bottom edge, which, like the top edge and the ears, is decorated with a pearl frame. The vaulted wall is completely cut away with engraved motifs: a lower edge of two flung ribbons, a middle section of elongated guilloches with half rosettes on top and bottom and an upper edge of little balls connected by balls. The top edge of the basket is scalloped. The flat, angular ears have concave arched sides. They are placed diagonally upwards. On the two short sides there is a slit on the inside, into which the removable interior fits. This consists of two right-angled partitions with corrugated tops, crowned at the intersection by a cast cubic base on which a vase with a bouquet of flowers (some flowers and leaves are damaged, two leaves are missing). The vase has a fluted body and two round ears with rings, flowers in a vase, Johannes Horstman (attributed to), Amsterdam, 1789, silver (metal), h 8.6 cm h 15.2 cm w 19.2 cm × d 11.1 cm × w 254 gr
