Getting started with the collection:
Tureen and Stand with a Ladle
Engelbart Joosten, 1772
Baron Assueer Jan Torck and his wife Eusebia Jacoba
de Rode van Heeckeren invested in new table silver when
they moved into their new house in The Hague. The tureen
was one of the most important pieces on the table at the
time and was therefore made in a modern, neoclassical
style. It provides a good impression of the taste within
the circles surrounding the stadtholder’s court.
