Reynier de Haan (1712-1783) is considered one of the Hague’s most renowned silversmiths and was the son of a goldsmith Johannes de Haan. He became a master goldsmith in 1731, the same year he married Maria de Wint. In 1756, Reynier’s daughter, Anna Maria de Haan, wed the silversmith Martinus van Stapele, son of Francois van Stapele, joining the two most prominent silversmith families based in the Hague.
