For 60 years Dekker Antiquairs has been one of the most renowned dealers in collectable, museum-quality antique and fine jewellery, watches and silver in Holland.
About us
Jewellery
The jewelry collection covers different style periods, from the Renaissance, the 19th century revival styles, Art Nouveau, Art Deco and the retro of the 1940s, to the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Famous designers such as Lalique, Fouquet, Gaston Lafitte and Rozet and Fischmeister can be found in our collection. Also signed pieces from important jewelry houses of the 19th century such as Cartier, Boucheron, Van Cleef & Arpels and Tiffany&Co. - and many jewellery made with taste and quality by unknown designers and goldsmiths.
Watches
Dekker Antiquairs has specialized in antique pocket watches in the broadest sense of the word for the past sixty years - until 2022. The extensive collection consisted mainly of 17th and 18th century pocket watches with verge escapement, enamelled watches, technical watches and carriage watches. The expertise and some beautiful specimens are still present.
Collectibles
Our objets d'art – small works of art with great artistic value – are from major makers such as Fabergé, but also anonymous. We always have something beautiful for the collector of high-quality antique, decorative curiosities, ranging from snuff boxes, silver miniatures, seals and cameos to micro mosaics.
Rijksmuseum
We sold a silver vase made in 1895 by Philippe Wolfers of Wolfers & Fères and an important gold and sapphire honorary medal from 1762 made in Sri Lanka to the Rijksmuseum. This medal brought to light a previously unknown episode from our VOC history. We also sold a gold boat chain from Dordrecht set with goldstone to the Rijksmuseum.
Clocks & Watches in museums
The Museum aan het Vrijthof in Maastricht acquired a wall console clock with chimes, mechanism and full calendar, made in Amsterdam around 1755 by Nicolaas Weylandt. We delivered an 18-carat gold watch from 1917 by Vacheron Constantin to the Beyer Hour Museum in Zurich with perpetual calendar, moon phases and sunrise and sunset.
