Sunday September 7, a new guest on the Antique and Book Market The Hague: De Houtwerkplaats

 
Again, the first Sunday of the month, of the summer season 2014, at the The Hague Antiques and Book Market on the Lange Voorhout, in front of Hotel Des Indes and the Escher museum, Escher In Het Paleis, you will find a guest stall.

Sponsors are the Municipal of The Hague and the company who delivers the booths: Marktbedrijf Post.

They have offered their full and free of charge collaboration to this event.

 On Sunday September 7, we proudly present:
 

 De Houtwerkplaats, Den Haag

 

 

A simple translation would be:

the Woodworkshop, but I prefer: the Wood Guild

The craftsmen there united, working together, offering courses, also work so beautiful, independent and unique on their own.

Wood is their joint love.

Already for 15 years one can sign up for a course in knowing of, and working with wood.

You will experience the wonder of wood: learning about the material, the different distinguishing features, techniques, restoration, out of the box design, imagining and creating – your thought, your design, your own unique piece.

The Houtwerkplaats Den Haag will be presented on the market by:

Alexander designs and creates wooden pens, such as fountain pens.

All unique, and also in commission, as you like it.

Created to make writing a delight !

You are a golfer and you are looking for vintage golf clubs or perhaps an antique carpet or rustic kilim in The Hague ?

Richard Houpt

 

He has a stand and a van full with vintage and antique carpets,

and a large choice of kilims

 

 

He will explain the difference, the technique used, the region they come from, the age and he will messure it up fo you, unless he is chasing the pigeons that are getting to close to his carpets.

And after all of that, he will also deliver

 

 

The summer market will end this month on sunday September 21.

 

Thursday, september 18 is the last time for Richard and his carpets during this season,

Back to golf now.

Around The Hague there are several beautiful golf courses.

 

But you are stil on the Antique market !

Then experience Dutch golf inside ! 

Opposite the Antique and Book Market in The Hague you can find the Historical Museum of The Hague, the

Haags Historisch Museum

The museum is housed in the former archery house of St. Sebastian's guild and dates from 1636. It is built on the spot of a gatehouse that was used by the civic guard. Parts of its cross-vaulted basement have been incorporated in the new archery house and can still be seen today. The civic guard of St. Sebastian used their quarters for parties and meetings. Immediately behind the building, alongside the pond, called De Hofvijver, their shooting ranges were situated.

 

Since the late 18th century, after the dissolution of the civic guard guild the building has been used as a hotel, court house and museum. Since 1986 the Historical Museum of The Hague resides in the St. Sebastiaansdoelen. Nowadays, the Historical Museum of The Hague tells you the story of The Hague, about its government and inhabitants. Temporary exhibitions with a Hague twist are shown.

  

At the moment, till October 12, you can visit the exhibition:

Golf in the Netherlands / Nederland Golft

Since its inception, golf has grown into a popular sport, with more than 375,000 registered players in the Netherlands and the Dutch Golf Federation is the third-largest sports association in the country. There are many reasons why golf is so popular, perhaps the most important of which is the game's great flexibility: you can play golf whenever you want, with whoever you want and however you want; recreationally or competitively. Besides this, golf is a very social sport that is played in the great outdoors and offers all-round exercise for the whole body (and mind). But did you know that the basis of modern golf in the Netherlands was laid in The Hague?

This year is the centenary of the Dutch Golf Federation. A momentous occasion that formed the inspiration for this exhibition which offers a glimpse into seven hundred years of golf. The displays on this floor explore the early origins of the game. A short walk up the stairs to the next floor will take you to the post-war history of the game of golf, displaying many items from the sport as it is played today.

titled: De Kolfspeler (1654)

Looking for Dutch objects dating from the 17th and 18th century on the Antique and Book Market in The Hague

 

On Thursday July 17, filmshots will be made, on the Antiquemarket and Bookmarket on the Lange Voorhout in The Hague, by the Dutch broadcast company Omroep MAX and television production company Endemol.

 

Omroep MAX will broadcast, later this year, an episode of their successful programme MAX Monumentaal. The Dutch actor Huub Stapel always presents the program.

 

The item of interest for this episode is a 17^th century building in Maassluis, the Gemeenlandshuis.

 

The Gemeenlandshuis of Delfland on the Hoogstraat in the city Maassluis is a monumental and striking building. It dates from 1626, and has recently been fully restored, but lacks a few details. That’s where MAX Monumentaal comes in.

 

The very sympathetic Dutch expert on applied art, Prof. Dr. Titus Eliëns, will take MAX and the viewers on a tour on the Lange Voorhout, looking for authentic 17^th and 18^th century Dutch objects,

 

such as Witjes – white tiles, or Delft tiles, decorated with blue, showing playing children, chandeliers, glass, textiles, prints and books.

 

Specialized standholders are Christian Korenhof, Willem Timmermans and Vasso Hadziantoniou. Their love and knowledge for authentic items of the period mentioned, are beyond doubt. They might not have their top-items on stand each marketday, but you can always ask if they have anything of your interest available.

 

Willem Timmermans has also a shop:

D’ Ouwe Donderbus, at Kalsdonksestraat 141 in Roozendaal,

open on appointment,

and a website: www.douwedonderbus.nl

 

 

 

Near the market there is also a 17^th century building, because on the Lange Voorhout no.6 in The Hague, around the corner of the market, you can find the Pageshuis.

 

This Dutch renaissance house was built between 1618 and 1628, and is one of the few remaining houses with a stepped gable or step-roofe in this part of the city. It takes it’s name from the time the building was a boarding school for pages or squires. Page means squire. Pages' House originally was built as the home of an armorer, but was used from 1748 for the accommodation of Prince William IV's pages.
