The furnishings and stock of the Jan Sikkes branch in Amersfoort are now under the virtual hammer. The auction closes on Thursday, 30 March 2023 at 10:00 am.

The family business Jan Sikkes was founded in Workum in 1934 and grew into one of the largest fabric stores in the Netherlands with three generations of Sikkes. Because the company believes in the power of the physical store (‘You have to feel fabrics if you want to make the best choice’), Jan Sikkes has no less than 10 branches, spread throughout the country. Due to bankruptcy, all branches have been closed since the beginning of this year. For this reason, the furnishings and stocks of the textile company will be auctioned on the online platform of Troostwijk Auctions.
