On these pages you will find some history on the decanters, a page where you can request a quote if you would like to buy some of these houses, an overview of all houses in one page, pictures of every miniature including some of older versions by Henkes , Rynbende and BOLS and pictures of the houses with links to their current use if available on the Bols page. I live in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and buy houses locally which find their way all over the world. I guess I must be the largest housing agent in the city. I do not have a shop in town but if you visit Holland and would like to buy some houses please contact me for pick up options. I visited the houses to make pictures and created an eBook. Thank you for your visit and please let me have any pictures or information you would like to share. Theo Kiewiet.
