A superb Dutch-colonial Indonesian silver filigree sirih box
About the Item
Probably Sumatra, Padang, 18th century
H. 8.4 x W. 22.5 x D. 15.3 cm
Weight 1700 grams
Due to the form of this box, together with the date, the most likely place of production of this large size box is West Sumatra. To be exact the area around Padang, which has been a centre of silver and gold filigreework since at least the 18th century and even still is today. Tourists can buy silver trinkets such as miniature pieces of furniture, model houses and jewellery in the village of Kota Gadang near Bukittinggi, a former Dutch military outpost previously known as Fort de Kock. This ‘West Coast work’ is mentioned in many Dutch East Indies and Dutch probate inventories in the 18th century.
