“In case anyone still thinks of antique dealers as being quaint and old-fashioned, that image will be quickly dispelled by an encounter with Robert Aronson ... nothing old-fashioned about him, except perhaps his courtly manners.”

“This elegant gallery on the Nieuwe Spiegelstraat, specializing in Dutch Delftware, is run by Robert Aronson – fifth generation in a traditional family business founded in 1881.

Recently refurbished in celebration of the firm's 125th anniversary, the gallery displays some of the earliest and rarest objects produced by the Delft factories in the 17th century, as well as a superb collection of 18th-century animals, figures, plaques, chargers and other interesting wares. Additionally, there is a fine selection of Continental furniture also from the 17th and 18th centuries.

Aronson Antiquairs offers a visual treat and a warm welcome for visitors to Amsterdam's Antiques District.”
