ObjectNumber: NG-MC-574

Model of a ship’s galley, painted black.

The model has a square structure with a hearth at the front and a chimney at the back. Two containers, one of which has two compartments, are hung in the galley. They have circular openings at the top. A separate compartment – into which a grating can be inserted from an entrance in the side – is built inside the hearth in such a way that the hot gases from the hearth surround it completely.

Obreen provides no further details about the galley or De Coninck.¹¹J.M. Obreen, Catalogus der verzameling modellen van het Departement van Marine, The Hague 1858, no. 574. NG-MC-576 is an identical model.
