We are the largest specialized auctioneer of books and works on paper of the Netherlands, and one of the foremost companies in these fields in Western Europe. Situated in a monumental 19th century urban villa in the centre of Haarlem, we are a two minute walk away from the Haarlem railway station, with a fast rail connection to Schiphol Airport, a parking garage in the near neighbourhood (next to the railway station) and ten free parking spaces for delivery [laden en lossen] at the back of our building.
In the past we have auctioned many of the larger Dutch private libraries and collections of graphic art. We believe that collections should not be judged by the value of the expensive items alone, but that the sum of their parts is greater than the whole. Therefore we not only sell the precious books and prints of collections, but all items that contribute to the identity of the collection. All members of our team are involved in the cataloguing as well as in the preparation of the auction and handling and shipping afterwards. This ensures simple and effective communication with our clients, a maximum awareness of their wishes and a substantial reduction of costs for buyers.
