Parts of the Silver Dinner Service for the Prince of Orange
Firma Bennewitz en Bonebakker, 1816
William Prince of Orange (later William II) and the Russian grand duchess Anna Pavlovna were married in St Petersburg in 1816. Back in the Netherlands, they were showered with wedding gifts. The City of Amsterdam commissioned a 419-piece silver dinner service, a small part of which is on view here. The House of Orange family coat of arms features the Dutch lion. Most appropriately, the handles of the soup tureen are in the shape of lion heads.
