Catalogue Note
The chestnut vases, now offered, were made by Bennewitz, after the split up with Bonebakker. Chestnut vases were usually placed on the mantelpiece and contained marrons glacés. A similar pair, but with a threatening swan, dated 1826, is illustrated in Exhibition Catalogue, Nederlands Zilver 1815-1960; Haags Gemeentemuseum, 22 dec.1960 - 19 febr. 1961, no 27.
