Tookist van Turtpad with three silver rectangular buses, Pieter Bartholomeus van Linden (attributed to), c. 1755 - 1756 The rectangular turtle box on oak, mahogany and violet wood is covered with green velvet on the inside. He has a hinged lid, one interior and a drawer divided into three compartments by means of two slides. He rests on four cast silver legs in the shape of a bird claw on an oval ground. The box has diagonally placed, slightly protruding corner styles and shows, above a low straight-walled base, a hollow curve, a sphere profile and an elongated S-curve. The lid is closed on the underside by a ball profile above which a convex curve, an S-curve and a hollow curve, closed at the top by a ball profile that surrounds the slightly raised, flat top. The drawer is opened by pressing a silver lip on the bottom. The lock and hinges of the lid are made of silver, as well as the cast lock plate, which has the shape of an asymmetrical cartouche of rocailles, and the also cast handle on the lid. This is made up of two leaves decorated C-Voluten, connected by an asymmetrical rocaille motif. It hinges in two spherical holders, resting on turned rosettes. The two sliders in the interior are finished along the top with a turtle edge. Three rectangular buses fit in the interior: two almost equal tea buses with loose caps and a mixer. The cast, curved top is rejuvenating to the four -lobe opening, which is surrounded by a profiled mouth edge. The top is decorated with an edge of C-Voluten, interrupted in the corners by rocailles with flower books and interrupted in the middle of each side by a rocaille. At one (c) some small engraved leaves are shown around the bouquets, not with the other (B). The rejuvenating, four -lobe cap is decorated on the four sides with an ever -equal composition of rocailles and volutes. It is crowned by a twisted, pointed button. The mixer has a sphere, hinged lid with flat sides, which is decorated in a similar way as the tops of the tea b
