Metz & Co

Metz & Co was a department store in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, whose roots went back to 1740.

[1] The store was founded by Mozes Samuels in the Jodenbreestraat, he sold his company to his three sons in 1794.

To celebrate its 150th anniversary in 1890 the store moved to the New York Life Insurance Company building of 1885 on the corner of Keizersgracht and Leidsestraat.

[2] The distinctive cupola on the store's roof was added in the 1930s and designed by Dutch artist Gerrit T. Rietveld.

The store moved to smaller premises in 2012 for only one year, and was subsequently closed in March 2013.
