PAIR OF 1671-DATED BRONZE DUTCH SALUTE CANNON.

SN NSN. These beautiful tubes measure 22-1/8″. Both are marked with a Coat of Arms with eagle surrounded by rope with tassels underneath a banner with the date 1671. These fine ornate salutes are typical of others observed. Dutch cannons had a unique European identity. These are “Dutch family cannons” which families had in sets, with number and size of the guns often related to the wealth of the family. They have heavy, bulbous ringed muzzles, foliage decoration at reinforces, Dutch style naturalistic dolphins, “ears” for pan covers on either side of vent and acanthus leaf decoration on breech face and cascabel. There are three iron chaplets visible in breech at 120 degree intervals of circumference and a cylindrical bronze chaplets in the reinforce. The recessed vent pan is square. Cannon are mounted on split-trail field carriages of later manufacture. The identity of the founder is most likely Cornelis Ouderogge, although unsigned. Other larger signed examples exhibiting similar decoration are found in several continental museums. The proof marks could potentially be identified as there is monumental text by Heer Der Neue Stockel [Journal-Verlag Schwend GmbH, 1978] on the subject. This is a beautiful pair of well marked 17th century bronze cannon that are rare survivors finely marked and proofed. PROVENANCE: Kutztown, PA Antique Market. Springfield Arsenal, LLC Artillery Collection. CONDITION: Fine overall with bronze patina, markings clear and discernible as can be seen in photos. Additional marks on base ring include “4” & “IV” on one tube and “^II” & “2” on the other. Both cannon bear “rampant lion” and “scorpion” proof marks. The cascabel on tube “2” is slightly bent as can be seen in photos. Old carriages of correct split trail configuration display cannon well but made for cannon with larger trunnion dia. 4-54094 JS129 (12,000-18,000) – Lot 1411
