I'm specialized in authentic antique Chinese furniture and objects which I supply to dealers and collectors. I travel to China myself and select the pieces I consider interesting on the spot.
Out of dissatisfaction with methods and quality of restoration-work on furniture done in China, I only buy items in an untouched, authentic condition. As far as restoration is required, I do the work myself, as to maintain as much of its original character as possible.

The collection ranges from early 17th century cabinets and storage jars to paintings, sculpture and textiles.
A small collection of shamanism related objects from Nepal are a side-path.
A tightly packed 200m2 warehouse offers plenty of choice.
Nij Beets is located along highway A7 between Heerenveen and Drachten.
