Brocante

At the "Brocante" (Antique Market) in Almere Haven last weekend.





An old Dutch wooden "High Chair"for little children painted in the traditional "Hindelooper art"style. This is a special style of painted furniture, walls and objects and includes colorful decorative flower patterns, bible prints and sea scenes. This painting was created around 1650 and at that time very popular in the so called "captains-houses" in the little village Hindeloopen.

Here another example of the painting art.

I am aware of showing "girlish" items, so here something for the male followers.

  1. Thanks for the explanation of Hindelooper art. The colors, in these cases, I find especially attractive.

  2. Just beautiful - I love the gentlemen's travelling cases - that is all one needed, small case like those back in olde travelling days. Lots of colour and I like the shoes of the person by the case :)

  4. I can't believe how different your antique market looks from those here in the states. I'd love to just walk through these places to admire all the goodies. Love that painted furniture.

  12. Dearest Marianne,
    Haha, you made up perfectly after starting out with the corset and ending with those men's briefcases! For a moment I thought to be a little girl again and finding my Mom's corset on the chair in the bedroom... Funny how times have changed; for the better in that regard!
    Love the Hindelooper painting!
    Hugs,
    Mariette
