3 Tier 17th Century Electric Model Dutch Brass Chandelier w. 30 Lights H250xW230

Inspired by a monumental 17th century Dutch original, the commanding three-tier Amsterdam chandelier modernizes antique grandeur with 30 gracefully arching brass arms forming a striking 250cm high by 230cm wide silhouette. Meticulously hand-crafted, intricate scrollwork flourishes across the solid brass frame, exemplifying the artistic mastery of Holland’s Golden Age metalworkers. Though designed centuries ago, this palatial chandelier is wired for contemporary illumination, flooding spaces with the decadent ambience of ages past. Equally massive in presence and meticulous in detail, the Amsterdam immerses interiors in old world splendor.

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.
