The family business Brink & van Keulen has passed on all the knowledge and skills of making and restoring copper chandeliers for three generations. It all started with Egbert Brink and Marinus Leendert van Keulen after the second world war. Together with brother Anton Brink, who was already a metal caster, the company started to specialise in the production of copper chandeliers. A strong impetus for the manufacture of replicas of old Dutch crowns and the restoration of old crowns was given by Mr Canneman, chief architect at the National Monuments Service. During restorations he was repeatedly confronted with the lack of knowledge and skills of the old yellow-casting trade. At his request, the firm started to specialise in this in 1950. In 1964 a limited company was finally founded.
