Abraham du Castel maker's mark?
Posted: Fri Feb 01, 2019 9:28 am
Hello everyone,
I have a dutch Silver Caster and Mustard Pot from 's Hertogenbosch (Forest Tree), (K = 1735) but i contains two marks that are unclear to me.
The items are attributed to Abraham du Castel (d. 1713). So one of the marks could well be a maker's mark. (if so what does it represent?) One of them, to me at least, seems to be an instrument (harp or a horn)
Anyone any idea what these marks can be and what the represent? I've marked them with a red circle.
Thank you in advance!
Kind regards
