Seller's Story

Snackers Antiques & Fine Art Based in Maastricht since 2020. Specialized in religious art. Vincent Snackers is the owner of Snackers Antiques & Fine Art, he was very interested in the Catholic faith and all the rituals that go with it at a young age. Palaces and museums also fascinated him. Through collecting, he eventually started the store in 2020, and he continues to collect himself, because a beautiful 18th century cupboard or a pair of Empire candlesticks never gets boring. It is always a nice challenge to find out the background of the object. And when the object then goes to a new owner who enjoys it, the circle is complete again.
