Art Chosen by Instinct, Not by Name
At Wildschut Antiques, we don’t chase big names or famous signatures. We collect what speaks to us. A painting that feels like it holds a secret. A color palette that lingers in your memory. A face you swear you’ve seen before—but haven’t.

Each piece in our collection is handpicked with heart, guided by Baukje and Michiel’s shared passion (and frequent disagreements) when it comes to art. Baukje, a graphic designer by training, loves clean lines, strong forms, and bold composition. She’s drawn to modernity with soul.

Michiel? He’s into the drama. The theatre. Clowns, pierrots, old circus posters, and game pieces. If it looks like it might spring to life when the lights go out, he’s intrigued.

This tension in taste creates a wonderfully rich and varied selection—something for the minimalist, the maximalist, and everyone in between.

The Portrait Wall You Never Knew You Needed
One of our greatest joys in paintings? Antique portraits. Not necessarily of people we know—though we like to pretend they’re long-lost family members (Aunt Helga with the suspicious stare, or Cousin Lucien with the heroic mustache).

Creating a portrait gallery in your home adds both elegance and whimsy. These faces from the past bring depth, storytelling, and that perfect touch of eccentricity to a hallway, stairwell, or study. And while they may not reveal their secrets, they’ll certainly keep guests intrigued.

A Wild Favorite: Antique Hunting and Game Scenes
Another favorite theme in our collection? Antique hunting and game paintings. From proud stags in misty forests to lively hunting dogs mid-chase, these artworks carry a sense of drama, history, and countryside charm. They feel like a story paused in motion—a fox just out of reach, a hunter lost in thought. Whether you hang one above a fireplace or in a cozy reading nook, they bring warmth, wildness, and a touch of aristocratic flair.

What You’ll Find in Our Art Collection:

• Antique and vintage oil paintings with rich patina and beautiful craquelure
• Naïve and outsider art with emotional punch
• Playful abstracts and graphic paintings that bring Baukje’s eye for line and color
• Whimsical portraits and animals that channel Michiel’s love for the unexpected

Whether you’re looking for a conversation piece, a unique gift, or a painting that simply resonates, our art collection has something that will feel right.
