1665/66 The Hague Trefid Spoon

Post by legrandmogol »

As far as I can tell this spoon was made in The Hague c.1665 or 1666 but I don't know who the maker is. Any help would be appreciated

Yes The Hague, I agree with your date and based on the shape of the town mark and the province of Holland 1st standard mark, the lion rampant's crown. Indeed the missing year letter N, not shown in the relevant literature, for the year 1665-1666.
The maker's mark is puzzle, very distorted but presumably AW conjoined for: Aelbrecht van Wingaerden, registered in The Hague 1647-1698. See image of Merken van Haagsche goud en zilversmeden Elias Voet Jr. page 160 #30 and # 33

Yes Voet still is the book about The Hague together with the book; Haags goud en zilver / druk 1: edelsmeedkunst uit de Hofstad (1st Edition)
by Jet Pijzel-Dommisse, J. Pijzel-Domisse, Theo Deelder, Reinier Baarsen, Titus M. Eliëns, Haags Gemeentemuseum
Hardcover, 447 Pages, Published 2005
ISBN-10: 90-400-9099-8 / 9040090998
ISBN-13: 978-90-400-9099-8 / 9789040090998


An other possible candidate for your spoon could be AVH in monogram attributed to; Adriaen van Hoecke (Voet nr. 27a), registered 1659-1716. See image Haags goud en zilverpage 310 cat.nr.143. Year letter P for 1668
