Today

Since 1 October 2024, we have been operating from a new, modern, spacious premises in Weesp, designed to meet today’s requirements: featuring our own auction hall and generous viewing and work areas, easily accessible by both car and public transport, with private parking spaces, yet offering traditional craftsmanship and expertise for both your stamps and coins. 

History

De Nederlandsche Postzegelveiling B.V. was founded in 1942.

Following several changes in management, the company was taken over in 1979 by Paul Bulterman and Cees Muis, both prominent figures in the stamp world.

In 1980, the auction catalogue was expanded to include coins, after which the auction house grew under their leadership into an internationally operating organisation with a branch in the heart of Amsterdam on the Rokin.

Paul Bulterman remained active until 1991 and was succeeded by his son Bas Bulterman.
Cees Muis retired in 2003 and handed over his duties to René Dresken.

These succession changes have never detracted from the professional expertise available:
both Bas and René grew up in the trade from a young age.
Martijn Bulterman later joined the company as well, bringing with him extensive expertise thanks to his lifelong involvement in philately and numismatics and his many years as chairman of the NVPH.

As of 1 September 2025, the auction house came entirely under the ownership of René Dresken, and he now runs the entire business together with his son Jari, their wives and their skilled staff.

René Dresken now manages the day-to-day operations together with Jari, and they look forward to organising successful auctions for many years to come, building on the auction house’s rich tradition and strong ties with collectors, dealers and resellers from all over the world.

De Nederlandsche Postzegel- en Muntenveiling has a long tradition of close collaboration with international agents in Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, the USA and the Caribbean islands, who can value and collect consignments.
This enables us to advise our clients on the most suitable strategy for the sale of their collection.

Our company is in excellent financial health, a member of all relevant trade associations, and, with an annual turnover of over 10 million euros, has grown to become one of the largest auction houses in the Benelux.

Our specialists: they are the backbone of our organisation. Every day between 10am and 4pm, several specialists are at your disposal, with a wealth of experience and knowledge gained over the years in the fields of stamps, postal history and numismatics, and they can provide you with comprehensive information on all the options available. At our office, we have an extensive library containing hundreds of numismatic and philatelic reference works. You can find our specialists under ‘Our Team’
