Welcome to De Opkamer, where heritage, history, and craftsmanship meet. We are a proud family-run business with a passion for preserving the charm of the past. For over 25 years, we are travelling across Europe sourcing and curating the most exquisite architectural antiques and old building materials of European Heritage.

Our story began with a deep appreciation for the timeless beauty found in architectural antiques, historical buildings and antique fireplaces. Over the years, our dedicated team has scoured the picturesque landscapes of Europe, unearthing treasures that tell stories of eras long gone. These treasures include stunning antique fireplaces that radiate warmth and elegance, reclaimed natural stone floorings that exude authenticity, antique garden ornaments that breathe life into outdoor spaces, and French terracotta floorings and dalles de Bourgogne that lend a touch of rustic charm.

One of our true passions lies in the meticulous restoration and preservation of antique marble fireplaces, each a work of art in itself. These fireplaces carry with them the echoes of centuries past, adding a touch of grandeur to your home.

Reclaimed Natural Stone Flooring

Every three weeks we roam Europe smiling, while we are looking for architectural antiques and reclaimed natural stone building materials. In Belgium, we find beautiful antique Belgian bluestone floors, or we dismantle beautiful antique church floors or bluestone slabs from ancient monasteries.

We transport these exclusive stone floorings to our warehouses, where the antique slabs are cleaned and prepared to be sold. Antique Belgian bluestone floors are rare and hard to find nowadays. We therefore have also a beautiful collection of antiqued floors made of Belgian stone. These floors are aged by means of various processing techniques to obtain the authenticity and the character of original old natural stone floors.

Reclaimed Dalle de Bourgogne

In France, we source and reclaim unique antique floorings such as dalle de Bourgogne limestone floorings, 18th-century massive oak plank floors and antique terracotta floortiles.
Antique French limestone floorings from Bourgogne are the pinnacle of authenticity. De Opkamer have been specializing in sourcing and restoring these exclusive floors which are often called "Dalles de Bourgogne". These Burgundian flagstones are old limestone floors which sometimes emerge during the renovation or demolition of an old farm and they may be as thick as 10 to 15 cms. We generally saw the top layer (first layer) back to 3 cm thickness, so your tiler can perfectly lay your flooring.

Antique French Terracotta Tiles

At De Opkamer we specialize in sourcing antique terracotta floor tiles from historic buildings across France. Our reclaimed tiles, including antique tommettes and Parfeuilles, showcase rich shades of red and orange, adding timeless elegance and authenticity to any room. After carefully demolishing these old floorings, we meticulously clean and sort the antique French terracotta floors by dimension and pack them carefully for worldwide shipping. These antique French floortiles tiles were each formed by hand out of local clay and then fired in traditional kilns. Please follow below links to see the  beautiful shades of reds, orange and white
