A. Aardewerk Antiquair Juwelier is a family-owned company specializing in superb quality antique Dutch silver dating from the sixteenth century onwards. The firm also deals in fine antique and period jewellery. With its traditions firmly rooted in the city of The Hague, the firm’s history goes back to the turn of the twentieth century when Abraham’s grandfather started his own antiques shop on the Paviljoensgracht. Abraham’s parents later established their firm in the Lange Poten. In November 1970 Abraham Aardewerk and his wife Magdie opened the current showrooms in Jan van Nassaustraat in The Hague. Emiel and Esther, who were raised with antiques, joined their father in the business in 1995. They are the fourth generation of antiques experts in the family. Emiel Aardewerk and Esther Aardewerk are the directors of the company. They are both experts in the Dutch television programme Tussen Kunst & Kitsch. A. Aardewerk exhibits at TEFAF Maastricht and PAN Amsterdam. The company is a member of The Royal Association of Fine Art Dealers in the Netherlands (Koninklijke Vereeniging van Handelaren in Oude Kunst) and of CINOA (Confédération Internationale des Négociants en Oeuvres d’Art)..
