Pieter Teyler van der Hulst (1702 - 1788) was a wealthy Dutch cloth and silk merchant, banker and philanthropist. A supporter of the Enlightenment, Teyler had a keen interest in art and science and collected coins, prints, drawings, books and fossils. Teyler became best known for his 2 million guilder bequest to promote art and science. Teyler's Museum of Art, Science and History was founded in 1788, the first and oldest still open museum in the Netherlands.

Inspired by 17th-century Dutch design, the majestic Teyler 700.1 chandelier evokes the grandeur of Holland's Golden Age with its hand-cast solid copper frame adorned with twelve gracefully outstretched arms. At 80 cm high and 77 cm wide, this impressive replica retains the proportions and appearance of the antique original, but adapted to modern wiring. The intricate scrollwork surrounds the two-level fixture and pays homage to the treasured metalworking techniques that brought warmth to palatial spaces centuries ago. With its timeless elegance and alluring golden glow, the Teyler 700.1 is a contemporary tribute to the antique Dutch chandelier.

Description

Original historical moulds from that era are used to make the copper parts. They are also still cast the old-fashioned way in a greasy type of sand called Brussels earth. After the crown is varnished, skilled craftsmen assemble the parts. Electric wires run subtly along the arms as they are made of solid copper. The arms and curls are soldered together. As the crowns are assembled, electrical wiring and lighting components are discreetly placed.

Brink & van Keulen, a family business founded in 1946, upholds the art of casting by producing copper chandeliers of the highest calibre. Chandeliers by Brink en 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 transfer of knowledge over many generations, Brink & van Keulen has made an important contribution to the preservation of the Dutch yellow casting craft. The company is the only manufacturer of chandeliers with original casting moulds from the 17th century in the whole of Europe.
