Silver miniatures, Amsterdam

Post by Vantlicht »

Silver miniatures from Amsterdam. Marked with several marks. Crosses from Amsterdam and makersmark. Is this a set or are they maked by several silversmiths? Is Pieter van Somerwil 1 also one of them? I need here a second opinion...

The marks on the miniature shovel are correct for Amsterdam, circa 1725, maker's mark Bust, unidentified.

The ash sweeper, town Amsterdam conjoined year letter D for 1738. Maker's mark deformed perhaps JB conjoined for Jan Borduur, registered 1731-1766, productive toymaker.

In my opinion the marks are spurious, not correct for an 18th century Amsterdam miniature.
The maker's mark a tree(?) not correct for Pieter Somerwil I

For Pieter van Somerwil I his mark see:
