With its petite profile and six gracefully curving arms, the 19th century Vermeer 106 chandelier epitomizes Dutch lighting design. At just 45cm high and 54cm wide, this single-tier fixture maintains a refined presence. Intricate scrollwork embellishes the circular brass frame, evoking ornamental styles favored to brighten stately manors. Though modeled centuries ago, this hollow brass chandelier is modernly wired for use, bathing today’s spaces in a warm golden glow. Subtle and elegant, the Vermeer 106 pays homage to cherished Dutch metalcraft traditions with its delicately curling silhouette wrought from age-old techniques.
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.
