A vintage miniature depicting a child playing with a hoop and stick, handcrafted in 835/000 silver in the netherlands in 1978, representing the dutch silversmith tradition applied to finely detailed figurative miniatures. The subject recalls traditional childhood games from another era, evoking nostalgia, simplicity, and scenes of everyday life from the past.
the figure is designed with a compact and balanced composition, with particular attention given to the sense of movement and the lively posture of the child. The hoop and stick, iconic elements of the game, bring animation and charm to the scene, while the craftsmanship gives the miniature both harmony and personality. Despite its small dimensions, the piece conveys a vivid and expressive sense of motion.
the hallmark set includes the dutch lion mark, positioned in the reverse orientation compared to the english equivalent, together with the numeral ii indicating 835/000 silver, also known as second standard silver. The annual date letter precisely identifies the piece as 1978, accompanied by the maker’s mark, confirming its authenticity and collectible value.
an excellent addition for collectors of silver miniatures, admirers of nostalgic childhood scenes, or anyone searching for a decorative object rich in historical charm and sentimental character.
