Historic Delfshaven is worth
a visit! There the visitor can breathe the fine air of the glory of the
past. Visiting the VOC, Pilgrim Church, Piet Heyn the old ware houses (in
which now the Museum de Dubbelde Palmboom.) and the old genever
distilleries.
Since 1993, in the restored
monumental and listed building- formerly the Henkes Genever Distillery- we
find Jasper Hooykaas, the antiquarian. He owns the Maritime Art- and Antique shop
"Delfshaven", which has a substantial collections nautica, like ship models, naval
instruments, shipping bells and
navigation maps and charts.
But------ as Jasper ponders
about himself "I am a generalist". In the cordial atmosphere of
his gallery one comes across a surprising wide choice of articles like
china and earthenware, bronze , brass and silver etc .etc. Do drop
in!
Furthermore has Jasper
established himself as one of the better prints dealers in the area. He
offers a very wide variety of original prints, engravings and maps
covering a wide choice of subjects.
Also your address for
restorations, valuation and framing.
