About the Item

The brothers Egbert and Anton Brink, both metal casters by profession founded Brink en van Keulen in 1946, together with Marinus Leendert van Keulen. They had a workshop on the Koudehorn in Haarlem. At the request and idea of Canneman, chief architect at the Department for the Preservation of Monuments and Historic Buildings, the company specialised in producing brass chandeliers, manufacturing replicas of old Dutch crowns and restoring old crowns. Anton Brink's son, Willem also worked within the company for many years, learning the trade from his father. Succeeded by his daughter Sabine, the third generation of the Brink family business. Grandiose yet refined, the three-tier Brink 1953.24 chandelier makes a striking statement with 24 gracefully extending brass arms. At 82cm high and wide, this commanding 19th century fixture features ornate scrolling metalwork bordering each tier. Designed in an era of decadent ornamentation, this hollow brass chandelier is now wired for contemporary use. With its hand-wrought detailing and radiant ambience, the Brink 1953.24 immerses modern spaces in old world splendor. Equally bold in presence and elegant in form, this chandelier exemplifies the Dutch mastery of metal arts. 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.
