19th Century Electric Model Dutch Brass Wall Chandelier with 2 Lights H31xW28

About the Item

Born to a prominent Friesian family in 1612, Saskia Uylenburgh married the acclaimed Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn in 1634. Their loving union inspired some of Rembrandt’s most renowned works, as Saskia often posed as his muse. A steadfast partner, she handled the couple’s finances and in 1635 jointly drafted her will with Rembrandt while pregnant with their first child. Saskia brought grace and wisdom to their relationship, evident in the ethereal beauty Rembrandt captured in portraits of his wife that stand today as 17th century masterpieces, immortalizing her spirit and their bond. Exemplifying 19th century Dutch design, the Saskia 475 sconce illuminates with two gracefully curving brass arms in a refined 31cm high by 28cm wide frame. Intricately embellished with scrolled metalwork bordering the circular brass fixture, this antique wall light is modernly wired while retaining old-world charm. Casting a warm, ambient glow, the Saskia 475 fits beautifully alongside Dutch chandeliers like the Rembrandt and Rijksmuseum. With its delicate proportions and hand-crafted details, this ornate two-armed sconce pays homage to Holland's long tradition of metal arts mastery. Original historical moulds from the era are utilised to create the brass components. Additionally, casting is still done the old-fashioned way in a greasy type of sand called Brussels’ soil. After the crown has been varnished, skilled artisans assemble the components. Electric crowns have bent hollow brass tubes for the arms. The arms and curls are soldered together. While the crowns are being put together, the electrical wiring and lighting components are covertly inserted. Brink & van Keulen, a family-owned business founded in 1946, upholds the art of casting by producing the highest calibre brass chandeliers. Chandeliers by Brink and van Keulen can be found in a number of prestigious churches and monumental buildings in the Netherlands and other parts of the world. Through the transmission of knowledge through many generations, Brink & van Keulen has substantially aided in the preservation of the Dutch yellow casting craft. The business is the sole manufacturer of chandeliers using original casting moulds from the 17th century in all of Europe.
