THE COLLECTION OF THE LATE MR. JILES BOON (1916-2009)
(Lots 25-39)
Jiles Boon married his wife Cornelia Neeltje Witvliet in 1942, together they had four children. Boon started working with the international trading company 'Van Velzen's Katoenmaatschappij' in Rotterdam just after World War II. Trading in cotton and later followed by coffee, Jiles developed himself into an entrepreneur with a passion for art, art history and craftsmanship.
After moving to the city of Rhoon (near Rotterdam) and building his own villa in 1958 the collection subsequently grew. Over the years Mr. Boon became a frequent visitor of auction houses. Boon as a passionate collector loved to research his acquisitions and enjoyed to share his knowledge with others. This passion is reflected in this collection.
