EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Spit jack front plate made of brass, created by the talented artist Thomas Tue (d. 1710). Standing at a height of 35 cm, this exquisite piece is currently held in a private collection. Originally believed to be Netherlandish, it is now recognized as an English creation. The front plate is an integral part of a spit-turning mechanism used for roasting meat. Its intricate openwork design and ornamental details reflect the baroque style prevalent during its time. This metalwork utensil not only served a practical purpose but also added elegance and sophistication to the cooking process. With its military-inspired finial and figural elements, this spit jack front plate exudes both strength and beauty. It transports us back to an era when knights donned their armor and embarked on grand culinary adventures. Captured by eChristies Images, this photograph allows us to appreciate every fine detail of this historical artifact without any copyright restrictions. Bridgeman Images has ensured that we can delve into the world of British cookery with ease while admiring this remarkable tool from centuries past.
