Vermeer 113: 19th Century Model Copper Chandelier With 12 Lamps H62xB54
€3.273 inc. VAT
Johannes Vermeer (1632 - 1675) painted many Dutch interiors besides his famous "Girl with a Pearl Earring". In the painting "The Art of Painting", a magnificent golden chandelier hangs above the painter and his subject. Dutch historians have noted that such chandeliers allowed artists to demonstrate their expertise in rendering shimmering and refracting copper under changing lighting conditions. A true testament to their craftsmanship and artistry.
This Vermeer 113 two-tier chandelier embodies the intricate scrollwork and attention to detail of 19th-century Dutch lighting design. Twelve curved arms, handmade of hollow copper, support the 54 cm wide fixture. Delicate scrolls swirl across the circular frame of each tier and converge at the central connecting piece decorated with a sculpted crucifix. At 62 cm tall and weighing 9 kg, this is a substantial showpiece now electrified for contemporary use. Warm golden light reflects off the polished antique copper, recalling the glory of 19th-century Dutch chandeliers that illuminated palaces, churches and mansions.

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 lacquered, the parts are assembled by skilled craftsmen. Electric crowns have curved hollow copper tubes for the arms. The arms and curls are soldered together. While the crowns are being assembled, electrical wiring and lighting components are discreetly inserted.
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.
