Mission & Interests
Goals: The Koninklijke VHOK or Royal Association of Fine Art Dealers in the Netherlands, founded in 1911, is the oldest and most renowned professional association in the Netherlands.
We know the vital importance of quality. Whoever buys a beautiful object wishes to know exactly what it is. Dates, attributions, state and preservation of the antique objects all have to fit. That is why only the best dealers are allowed to bear the VHOK-logo.
Our members are "the eyes of the antiques and fine arts market" and jointly they strive for the highest standards of expertise and ethics and of being connoisseurs. We have mutually agreed on these standards for ourselves and for our clients in the "Code of Conduct" and the "General Conditions for Sales and Services".

Activities
Main EU Legislative Proposals: One key aspect for the European Union could be enhancing regulations on the authentication and documentation of antique objects within the art market. This could include establishing standardized procedures for verifying the provenance, attributions, and preservation details of art objects, aligning with the commitment to transparency and quality upheld by prestigious associations like Koninklijke VHOK. The aim would be to ensure a consistent, high standard of expertise and ethics across the European art trade.
