Jacob J. Roosjen is a specialist in antique silver objects and has been a certified valuer of silver and gold objects since 1989 (Hobéon registered).
After a 20-year-career at an international auction house, as Head of the Silver Department in Amsterdam and Milan, having also worked for the Geneva and Paris silver departments, he decided to found the Silver Research Institute (SRI®) in 2009, which he incorporated in his company, selling European antique silver objects from the16th to the 20th century. Keywords for this collection are quality, uniqueness, provenance and history.
His up-to-date archive and his extensive library enable Jacob J. Roosjen to do research on silver and gold objects thoroughly and advise private collectors, curators and clients in general. In his annual publication ‘Zilver Zaken’, in which he shares his knowledge in extensive descriptions, QR-codes are used. He is often asked for complicated valuations and to take part in Vetting Committees of Art and Antiques Fairs. He can also be consulted for restorations and publications.
The company Jacob J. Roosjen SRI® is based in Breukelen and clients are welcome by appointment only. Over the past years Jacob has been a participant at PAN Amsterdam.
Jacob J. Roosjen is a member of KVHOK, CINOA and TMV.
