Welcome to 't verfhuys

Where history and elegance intertwine. We are a family-owned business with deep roots, tracing our origins back to the 1840s on the Herenweg in Vinkeveen. For generations, the Mulckhuyse family served the village from our painting workshop, selling paint, glass, and wallpaper. Over the years, we have evolved, and in 2010, we embraced our lifelong passion for antiques, transforming this historic space into the charming, curated storefront you see today.

From a painter’s shop to a storytelling atelier. ’t verfhuys is the tangible extension of d’ Werkplaats, our design studio where 185 years of craftsmanship are passed on and reimagined. Our collection is not a selection of mass-produced items, but a gathering of objects with soul. From stunning Art Deco lamps crafted with natural materials to elegant Victorian furniture, every piece is chosen not just for its beauty, but for the unique story it tells.

In our workshop, craftsmanship comes to life once more. You will find handmade and adapted objects inspired by the craft of the house and carriage painter—wood nourished with linseed oil, visible brushstrokes, and colors that recall 19th-century Dutch interiors. We believe that every item we offer is more than just a functional piece; it is a captivating conversation starter, a fragment of a larger narrative that enhances any interior space.

A shop that feels like a time capsule. The atmosphere of ’t verfhuys evokes a long-forgotten atelier, where weathered wood and soft light filtering through historic windows create a sense of wonder. In the past 15 years, we have proudly built a global community of satisfied customers, receiving over 1,300 positive reviews with an impressive average rating of 9.8 and over 3500 objects sold. This feedback inspires us to continue our journey, ensuring that each visitor feels the warmth of our family heritage and the passion we pour into our work.

We are more than just a webshop; we are a place for deeper engagement. Through our collection and our stories, we share knowledge about traditional techniques and the beauty of restoration, ensuring the craft of the master painter remains a living source of inspiration.

Join us in celebrating the beauty of the past. Let us help you find the perfect piece that resonates with your own story. At ’t verfhuys, you do not simply purchase a product, but a piece of history.

Here, you do not become a consumer, but a collector of stories.
