Bartele Santema, Owner

In 2009 Bartele Santema opened a gallery in Indonesia, offering antique maps and prints of the East Indies and Asia.

After 25 years in ‘De Oost’, Bartele decided to move back to the Netherlands together with his wife Roos and three children. In the picturesque village of Langweer in Friesland, he now continues his passion for buying and selling old books, prints and maps.

Whether you are an interior decorator, an institution, an experienced collector, or just looking for a single antique map or print, we are always happy to assist you.
