The base of the firm is the impressive Amsterdam canal house “Faith, Hope and Love”. (See photographs on SAADA website www.saada.co.za under Media). This Amsterdam merchant house was constructed in 1648 and redecorated in Rococo style in 1763. All the interiors are original, in a splendid state of conservation and decorated with contemporary antiques. The house boasts an original Rococo hall and staircase, a 17th century kitchen, a 17th century chamber for private visitors and a well-stocked icon gallery. The house is decorated with 18th century portraits, furniture and Chinese porcelain. On appointment, Ricus Dullaert, Expert & Icon Restorer Mrs. Veronika Begounova or Art Historian Albert Smit MA, can show you around in this canal house on the Binnenkant, Amsterdam.

In Johannesburg the collection can be admired at the fairs, or in the showrooms in “Orchid Lodge” constructed by the Dutch architect Breedveld, in Mountainview. If Ricus Dullaert is not available in Johannesburg, Mr. David Wu, his assistant, is prepared to show you around (English and Chinese spoken).
From Ricus Dullaert you can expect a splendid collection, a wealth of knowledge, an international taste and years of experience. Occasionally Ricus does antique valuations.
