Zwiggelaar Auctions is a Dutch auction house based in Amsterdam, specialising in rare books, manuscripts, photography, comics, posters, fine arts, and curiosities. Founded in 2009, the company has built an international reputation for its expertise in printed heritage, visual culture, and private collections.

In 2022, Zwiggelaar Auctions acquired Burgersdijk & Niermans, bringing together two complementary areas of expertise. Burgersdijk & Niermans specialises in antiquarian and scholarly books, while Zwiggelaar focuses on visual and ephemeral printed matter and the more contemporary book market. From November 2026, both auction houses have been based under one roof in Amsterdam, each retaining its own identity.

Our next auctions take place from
7 - 9 (Burgersdijk & Niermans)
10 - 13 December 2026 (Zwiggelaar Auctions)

We are looking forward to seeing you soon!
