2 Tier 19th Century Electric Model Dutch Brass Chandelier with 18 Lights H82xW82

Exuding Dutch elegance, the two-tiered Brink 1991.18 chandelier illuminates with 18 gracefully arching brass arms. At 82cm high and wide, this striking 19th century fixture features delicate curling embellishments bordering each tier. Designed in an era when ornamental metalwork prevailed, this hollow brass chandelier is now wired for modern use. With its hand-crafted details and warm, lustrous glow, the Brink 1991.18 immerses spaces in historic charm. Both bold in presence yet refined in form, this chandelier exemplifies the finesse of classic Dutch lighting design.

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.
