Lot #19: KLM Blue Delft House #40

Part of the on-going series of KLM/Bols Blue Delft House collection, #40 is De Rode Hoed (The Red Hat). According to the KLM app: Perhaps some of the most peculiar buildings in the Netherands arethe ones that housed the secret conventicles. What other country in the world has had anything like these hidden yet condoned churches? The little house at Keizersgracht 104, now known as 'De Rode Hoed', shows part of the former Remonstrant Church. The little red hat in the stone tablet refers to Claes Harmensz Roothoet, who owned the house in 1642. It also determined the name of the cultural centre known as De Rode Hoed that now has its office here. Wax plug protecting Bols liquor is missing and so, I suspect, is the liquor. Otherwise, the piece is in excellent condition. Note that while this piece is not 'stamped on the bottom, it does have the number 40 stamped into the bottom and has the KLM/Bols stamp on the back.
