Rare Books, Manuscripts & Etchings

Explore a refined selection of rare books, historic manuscripts and fine etchings spanning the 15th to the 19th century. At TenCate Art, we seek works that combine intellectual significance, artistic merit and cultural value — pieces that appeal to both the serious collector and the historically minded connoisseur.

Our offerings include early printed books, illustrated volumes, scholarly works, devotional texts, and manuscript fragments that preserve the artistry of scribes and printers. Complementing these are finely executed etchings and engravings by European masters, from Renaissance and Baroque printmakers to 18th- and 19th-century artists whose works helped shape the visual culture of their time.

Each item is described with care, including details on condition, provenance and, where applicable, original bindings or period mounts. Whether you are expanding an existing library or beginning a new collection of works on paper, we provide knowledgeable guidance and welcome your enquiries.
