Old Holland:
In 1664, various Old Dutch master painters established Old Holland. Now, centuries later, we still use their recipes to make your colours. Except we do that with the latest technology.
Colours made using ancient recipes
We still make our oil colours using the traditional recipes and the production process used by the Old Dutch masters. Nothing surpasses the quality, colour strength and intensity. The proof? You can still admire in the biggest museums the splendour of our colours and pigments in the paintings of the most famous Dutch masters, such as Vermeer, Van Gogh and Hals.
The brand for artists and restorers
Old Holland is a household name among artists worldwide. Artists and professional restorers in more than 50 countries use our colours. Because they know it: Old Holland gives you the result you have in mind.
Alres Art :
Alres has its origins in the 1960s with the production and distribution of picture frames and other wooden DIY items.
After Herman Heres joined the company in the early 1980s, production in Eastern Europe was further expanded. This led to various product developments, notably the creation of an extensive range of easels. Travel in the old Eastern Bloc countries was only by car, and my father-in-law and I walked into a furniture factory during one of these trips to ask for directions. It was this factory that started producing the easels for us a short time later, and we have now been working together intensively for years.
After the iron curtain fell, cooperation became easier and we could start working on a stable basis for continuous cooperation in production and partnership. Over the past five years, we have succeeded in building a strong network for both production and logistics together with our partners in Poland. Both in the Benelux and beyond, we supply our customers with high-quality products. Our people on site in Poland and here in Amerongen ensure this through their years of experience and expertise.
The Alres team, in collaboration with Colourstock, works to further build the relationship with you, the customer.
