Harlem Holland

Name: Harlem Holland
 
Type: Tray
 
Year: Circa 1950s–1970s
 
Set: No
 
Mark: None - Unmarked, likely Dutch tourist handicraft item
 
History: This object reflects the intersection of utility and tourist memorabilia, appealing to hobbyists and crafters during the post-war travel boom. The inclusion of thread bars implies the item may have been used practically in the home, possibly as a small-scale sewing accessory holder mounted on the wall.
 
 
Condition-wise, the wood shows some cracking and varnish wear, which is expected for age. The decorative appeal remains intact, especially with the nostalgic hand-painted Dutch rural imagery.
 
 
Though not rare or highly collectible, it is an appealing piece for collectors of vintage Dutch souvenirs, mid-century folk crafts, or themed sewing ephemera.
 
Flaws: None
