Model of the island of Deshima, anonymous, 1850 - 1851
This model shows the Dutch trading post of Deshima on the eve of the opening up of Japan to the West. The island was very small, only 214 by 64 meters. The Dutch ships were loaded and unloaded at the gate on the short end. The bridge on the long side connected Deshima to the
city of Nagasaki. The port was strictly guarded to prevent anyone from entering or leaving Deshima without permission of the Japanese authorities.

Parure (set of matching jewellery), Johannes Mattheus van Kempen, c. 1854 - c. 1858
The writer and journalist E.J. Potgieter was among the first in the 19th century to devote attention to women from the past. He commissioned this jewellery set as a gift for a relative. The seven depicted Dutch women symbolize decisiveness and fortitude. Potgieter believed his lethargic countrymen could learn a lesson from them. The medallion contains a photograph of Potgieter and a lock of his hair.

Travellers at Rest, Adriaen van Ostade, 1671
After 1670, Van Ostade mainly painted outdoor scenes, extolling unhurried, simple country life. The men drink beer and smoke their pipes. In the 17th century, Dutch people smoked so much that, according to foreign travellers, the smell of the Low Countries was the smell of tobacco. The most and best tobacco was cultivated in North and South America by people in slavery and shipped to the Netherlands for resale to other countries.

Comb in the form of two dragonflies, Lucien Gaillard, c. 1904
Forms derived from nature were an important source of inspiration around 1900. Gaillard’s astonishing technical virtuosity is demonstrated in his jewels with lifelike insects. For instance, he made parts of the dragonflies’ wings in plique-à-jour, a vitreous enamelling technique, in which the enamel is not applied to a metal base, but rather set in a gossamer thin wire framework.
