Vacancy General appraiser (part-time)

Vendu Rotterdam and Vendu DickhautMaastricht are looking for an experienced General Appraiser for valuations in Rotterdam and Maastricht.

Due to the expansion of our valuation and collection activities, we are looking for an experienced general appraiser with a broad interest in art, design and antiques. Do you have enough experience to help clients independently on location and contribute to the growth of our organisation? Then this is your chance.

Why choose Vendu?

Vendu Rotterdam is the oldest auction house in the Netherlands with a fresh look to the future and has been working together with Vendu Dickhaut Maastricht since early 2025. We combine craftsmanship with innovation and continuously expand our services. Thus, we not only provide auctions from Rotterdam and Maastricht, but also organise valuations at unique locations throughout the country. We are looking for a colleague who shares this ambition and wants to be part of a driven team where passion for art and antiques always comes together with teamwork and collegiality.

Your role as general appraiser:

You will have a versatile job with a lot of freedom and responsibility. One moment you will be appraising at a client's home, the next you will be working with colleagues in Rotterdam or Maastricht. You will appraise art, design, jewellery, collectibles and household effects, prepare clear reports and assist our clients in a personal manner during the auction process. You are also a substantive sparring partner within our team.

What will you do:

• Valuing goods at clients' premises, at Vendu Rotterdam, Vendu Dickhaut Maastricht and at external locations
• Drafting valuation reports, catalogue texts and condition reports (Dutch and English)
• Professionally assist customers in taking in goods for auction
• Active input on new appraisal concepts and intake points
• Act as a question and sparring partner for colleagues and management
• Helping out at auctions, viewing days and valuation days, sometimes also outside office hours
• Contribute to strengthening our network of contributors and relationships

What we expect from you:

• Proven experience as an appraiser, preferably within the auction business

  Independence and ownership

• Representative, customer-oriented and communicatively strong
• TMV certification is a plus
• Good command of the Dutch and English languages
• Flexible availability
• In possession of a driving licence

What we offer you:

A part-time position (hours to be agreed upon) within a close-knit, expert team. You will work alternately at our locations in Rotterdam and Maastricht and sometimes at unique locations throughout the country. We offer plenty of room for personal input and entrepreneurship. You will work with passionate colleagues in an atmosphere of trust, commitment and professionalism.
