About Miscellaneous
Also known as ‘objets d’art’,
items in this category are usually small decorative and utility pieces made
from a variety of (sometimes valuable) materials such as wood, copper, tin or
other metals, ceramic, textile or a combination of these. Think, for example,
of decorative storage boxes, fans, opera glasses, rugs, tapestries, religious
objects and so on. Our experts in this field are Chris Vellinga, Frederik
Knegtel, Andrew Mattijssen and in the area of textiles Philomeen van ’t Hooft. Highlights are sold in our spring and autumn auctions.
