Amsterdam. House Willem Mengelberg. Second house from the right (no. 107). Mengelberg lived here from 1900. At the upper level was a connection with house no. 105 (to the left).
The house was increasingly filled with antiques such as clocks, Delft pottery, carpets, paintings, prints, Swiss art, eglomisees, silver, music instruments and glassware. Mengelberg liked to show his art collections to his guests, and he then spoke animatedly and broadly about his ‘treasures’. He had hundreds of glass paintings in a separate room that he told us about in detail.
