Ask anything

Brenda pye asked

I have a very old silver with a belt hook purse similar to the museum. Could this be the same creator?
Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen answered

Dear Brenda, your purse could be by the same creator, but Sweering was not the only one who created purses like this. If you want to be sure, I would advise you to have it examined by a specalized art dealer or a specialist at an auction house. Kind regards, Els
