Beaded fair with a golden bracket and hook, Lourens van Hassel (attributed to), 1778 Canvas Print
The cast stock bracket consists of two equal, hinged connected to each other, arched halves with a scalloped contour. A wide, smooth top edge is attached at right angles to one of these two halves. Each half of the braces shows on a roughened ground in the middle a seated, young Mercury with his winged helmet and aesculaap, on the left corner a putto with mirror (Prudentia) and on the right corner a putto with a staff and a mask (theatrical art). The ends are shaped like dolphins. The edges are decorated with C-volutes from which flower garlands depend. Both halves of the braces are provided with thirteen eyes at the bottom, to which the beads purse is attached. Between the halves is a smooth inner bracket with fifteen holes. The pins of the hinges have rosette-shaped heads. Both bracket halves have a closed rod at the top with a ball, together forming the cut with which the bracket closes. The upper edge has two eyes. Attached to this are the chains, consisting of alternately profiled oval links that connect the bracket to the hook. The front part of the hook has the shape of two crossed dolphins, which keep the eyepieces for the chains in the beath and whose tails, which end in leaf crowns, flank a rosette. The pointed back part is hinged connected to it and has a tab at the end, The - probably made ca. 1900 - in beaded fair shows a rose and a swimming duck on a light and dark blue base at the front and back.
