The new standard

The Order of Orange, Grand Cross, jewelled obverse of the Order of Knighthood, 1905 medal, ‘Begeer’ type

Sometimes renewal is necessary, as is the case with the book ‘Orders and Decorations of the Netherlands’. This book is the international reference work on Dutch orders of chivalry and honours and dates back to the 1980s. Together with the leading experts Erik Müller, Paul Gelton and Willem de Boer, we are taking up this challenge. The new standard work will be expanded and given a modern makeover.
