Jacobus Vander Spiegel American

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 704

The engraved cipher on the lid, surrounded by exhuberant leafy scrolls and two birds, is for Robert and Maria (Van Huysen) Harris, who were married in the Dutch Church in New York in 1695. Maria Harris married her second husband, John Gorne, on April 1, 1701. The initials of the second couple are inscribed on the handle. The armorial engraving on the front, amidst lush feather mantling, is unidentified.
