With more than 7.500 bids, we reached over 2 million euros in sales!

This year, The Hague is the city of Escher (1898-1972)! In 2023 it is 125 years ago that this beloved and world-famous artist was born. Since Escher’s first big retrospective exhibition happened in this city and it still holds one of the biggest collections of Escher’s works, The Hague is certainly a beautiful place to celebrate this anniversary!
On 31 March, you are welcome at Hoeve Rijlaarsdam for a valuation day, in honour of their 35th anniversary.

Our Home & Interiors: Antique Furniture & Design, Ceramics & Decorative Art auction on 15 December 2022 included a peculiar lot: a silver box containing a lock of hair and a handwritten note stating that the lock of hair was taken from the body of President George Washington.
