Description
Rare, very decorative oak hall bench, beautiful carved after a design of Daniel Marot. Interesting to see is, that the carved middle panel with playing children is exactly after a design of: Daniel Marot (1661-1752) and this design is illustrated in the book about Daniel Marot by: Dr.M.D.Ozinga. The bench still has the original old patination and was never painted, the bench dates from circa 1715 in original great condition with original old patination Price on Application. Attributed to:- Ignatius van Logteren, Amsterdam, (1685-1732). Interesting to see is that at the front of a gentleman’s house at the Herengracht 433 in Amsterdam two of exactly the same profile masks are carved above the front door. Ignatius van Logteren has done many facades and interior designs and carved oak stair cases for houses in Amsterdam and many of them after designs of: Daniel Marot. Even more interesting is, to compare our bench with the famous, large Dutch Delft blue and white tiles, made for: Hampton Court (now in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum). These tiles have exactly the same panel and subject with the playing children as on our bench. We have never seen this subject somewhere else, so it might be possible that there is a connection between our hall bench and the blue and white tiles made for Hampton Court.
