Copper and Brass Ceiling Lamp, Scandinavia, 1930's
By Hans-Agne Jakobsson
Located in Uithoorn, NL
Beautifully patinated ceiling lamp with lots of resemblance with the work of Hans Agne Jacobsson but then more beautiful. Great shadowplay and warm vibrant light. Both the copper and the brass are very nicely patinated creating an organge / red light. Interesting geometrical figures and cleverly built: the source of light (the bulb) is hidden inside the lamp so don't expect a sea of light coming out of this one. For cosy corners...

Unique 17th Century Miniature Japanese Namban Lacquer Miniature Dollhouse Chest
Located in Amsterdam, NL
A unique and exceptional Japanese miniature or dollhouse export lacquered chest Kyoto, circa 1620-1640 The chest of rectangular shape with a domed lid, decorated in Transition-style, in gold hiramaki-e on a black background within reserved lobed cartouches decorated with landscapes animated with birds and rabbits, on a shagreen or samegawa background. The borders are decorated with geometric friezes, the box with gilt-copper mounts, the interior decorated in red lacquer. Measures: H 9.2 x W 14.5 x D 7.2 cm This miniature is of exceptional quality and a perfect copy of the famous large size Transition-style coffers. It was most likely ordered by a Dutch lady for her dollhouse (poppenhuis), like the famous Petronella Oortman (1656-1716) doll-house, which is now one of the highlights in the collection of the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, or Petronella Oortmans-de la Court’s (1624-1707) dollhouse in the collection of the Centraal Museum Utrecht. Sara Rothé of Amsterdam in 1743 ordered a miniature black lacquered ivory tripod table with gold chinoiserie decoration by Jurriaan Buttner (Monika Kopplin, European Lacquer, 2010, p. 56).

Reference Book Dutch VOC History - Koopman in Azie - Merchant in Asia
Located in Amsterdam, Noord Holland
Dutch Language, but easy to read with google translate on a phone. Since its founding in 1602, the Dutch East India Company has grown into the world’s largest trading company. The VOC dominated trade between Europe and Asia for two centuries. What is less known is that the Company built up an even more extensive trade network within Asia, stretching from Yemen to Japan. The VOC even partly financed European trade with proceeds in Asia. Yet the Asian VOC company has never been studied or described to its full extent. Koopman in Asia puts an end to that gap. Historian Els Jacobs takes the reader on an exciting trading journey past the VOC branches in Asia. Look over the shoulder of the merchant and discover how he bought and sold his products, how he dealt with Asian suppliers and customers, and what problems he had to overcome to make the VOC trade profitable. After all, after the 17th-century cannon boom had died down and the gunpowder fumes had cleared, money had to be made. The author chose an approach that is as surprising as it is innovative: not the usual division by region, but the four most important products - spices, Indian textiles, Chinese tea and Javanese coffee - form the starting point. This maps out for the first time how commercial activities within Asia are interrelated. The many new points of view and the countless carefully chosen illustrations - many of them unknown treasures from Dutch museum collections - make Koopman in Asia a colorful sketch...
