D: 23 cm Provenance: The arms are those of the families van Shoonhoven, Rotterdam and Leiden, and Geraerds, Haarlem. This service was commissioned in the 1740s by Thimon IV van Schoonhoven (1710-1766) and his wife Elisabeth Geraerds (1720-1751) who married in Leiden on 17 March 1739. Thimon I's grandfather was a merchant from Amsterdam who had settled in Nantes in the middle of the 17th century; his son Thimon II had returned to the Netherlands and settled in Rotterdam. Thimon III developed many financial activities and in 1760 became director of the Amsterdam Chamber of the VOC and inherited the title of nobleman of De Venir Manor.
