Being marked with what I think is 'VK' I initially thought that this little Dutch bureau box was made by J. M. van Kempen (in 1831). However, the city mark seems to indicate that it was assayed in Gouda (uncrowned, hence 2nd quality) and I'm not aware that van Kempen's silver was assayed there.
Would someone be kind enough to suggest who may have made it?
The second picture shows most of the marks on the box, the only other one (not shown) is the crowned 'O'.
Many thanks,
Silverk.
