Antiques by the Sea was founded by Peter Andeweg, a passionate dealer, researcher, and specialist in antique arms and related objects. Together with his wife, Chantal Andeweg, they form a dedicated team focused on the fascinating niche of Oriental, tribal, and ethnographic weapons and works of art.
