About the Item
Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) was a Dutch painter, etcher and illustrator. He is regarded as the most significant Dutch master of the 17th century and one of the best painters and etchers in all of European art. About three hundred paintings, three hundred etchings, and two thousand sketches were created by him in total. His work belongs to the Baroque period and is visibly influenced by Caravaggism, although he never visited Italy. His extraordinary skill in manipulating light and dark, frequently employing stark contrasts (chiaroscuro) to draw in the viewer, resulted in dramatic scenes with clear details.
Evoking old world grandeur, the Rembrandt 368 single-tier chandelier illuminates with eight solid brass arms extending from its 60cm high by 66cm wide frame. Designed after a 17th century Dutch original, intricate curling metalwork borders the circular fixture exemplifying historic embellishments. Though modeled centuries ago, this striking chandelier is wired for modern use, bathing spaces in decadent warm lighting. With hand-crafted details and a rich, lustrous sheen, the Rembrandt 368 brings a touch of Golden Age elegance to contemporary interiors.
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 wires run subtly along the arms, as they are made out of solid brass. The arms and curls are soldered together. While the crowns are being put together, the electrical wiring and lighting components are covertly placed.
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.

By Dutch Originals
Located in Vijfhuizen, NL
Elias Canneman (1933-1970) is the name of a former chief architect of the Dutch National Trust for Historic Buildings. He was trusted with extensive projects after the Second World War, such as the Belfry of Sluis, Walenburg Castle, Duivenvoorde Castle, the New Church and the Markiezenhof. Canneman was also especially sympathetic to the fate of traditional Dutch chandeliers. He provided Brink & van Keulen with advice about the yellow casting craft and recommendations regarding maintenance and restoration.
Commanding yet refined, the majestic three-tier Canneman 170.2 chandelier modernizes antique opulence with 18 gracefully arching brass arms. At a dramatic 150cm high and 125cm wide, this imposing fixture emulates an ornate 17th century Dutch original down to the intricate hand-detailed metalwork swirling across its solid brass frame. Though designed centuries ago, the Canneman 170.2 is wired for contemporary use, immersing modern spaces in decadent old world lighting...
