van Dijk Antiques

Enjoyed walking in the shop, nicely organised. Great service, highly recommended!

Bad taste of this case. Despite the fact that I really love stores like this one. Last Friday I got a set of LPs, 10 albums, neatly wrapped in foil. When I bought it, I was asked if everything was complete and in good condition, because I always like to visually check LPs from almost half a century for scratches, etc. 'No, there is nothing wrong with it' I was assured. Settled in full confidence, and afterwards everything turns out not to be complete. I immediately called, and explained that the set did not have much value to me and that I would like to return it. Despite a bit of sputtering, this was agreed. Kindly said until tomorrow, and hung up. Unfortunately it was not possible to visit the next day, very story with camping on the other side of the island with a family with four young children, too long to read. Today I had the opportunity, so I set off in good spirits. In the shop with my eleven-year-old son I picked out a nice pocketbook about bees, and we went to the checkout. Same saleslady as five days ago behind the counter (and the telephone). "No, I can't give you a refund because you were due to come by on Saturday" ... Without kidding. After a short discussion, I thought 'let me be the wisest' (also to give my son a good example), and asked if it would be possible to get part of the purchase amount back. I was able to return the set and get half of the purchase price back. Well, no, whether I wanted to leave the building with less money without anything in my hands? When I approached the lady about the fact that I had asked her if everything was complete, she simply answered: 'I did not pack it' ... Eventually one third of the purchase price got back, and an incomplete set of LPs richer. To be trusted? No. Service-oriented? No. Learning moment for me (and my eleven-year-old son)? Yes. Bad taste? Yes.

Very interesting shop, with a huge amount of old stuff, sorry, antiques, art and curiosities. You will always find a present for someone here, and if not, you will have spent an enjoyable hour. Definitely come back here.

Unfriendly staff, lots of fake material from 1939-1945 as supposedly really for sale. Very unfortunate for such a beautiful store.

Very beautiful natural stone elephant found here. Very charming shop. Just a pity they don't have a pin. Fortunately there is an ATM in the area. Furthermore, certainly nice to browse around.
