asteriskBiography
The F.W. Braat Koninklijke Fabriek is founded in 1844 by Frederik Willem Braat (1822-1889) as an independent plumbing and pump factory on the Oude Langendijk in Delft. Upon his retirement in 1884, F.W. Braat transfers the factory to his two sons and son-in-law. By now the company is active not only in the Netherlands, but also in the former Dutch colonies and beyond. In 1865, the first orders arrive from the "Dutch East Indies. At the Exhibition for Colonial and Export Trade in Amsterdam in 1883, the company achieves the Honorary Diploma by presenting, among other things, two large zinc lions destined for Semarang. This endorsed the importance of the company. In 1910 the representation in "the Dutch East Indies" is transferred to the Lindeteves-Stokvis company. In 1883, the company expands their trade to South Africa, specifically "Transvaal," and later the "Orange Free State" and Cape Town. Between 1892 and 1899, orders are made for capitals, basements, zinc work, wrought iron gates and church spires. This trade was discontinued by the Second Boer War (1899-1903). Given the annexation by the British Empire of the independent Boer republics, F.W. Braat junior appoints an English administration in Johannesburg. This results in a large number of new commissions. The Royal Factory is active at several colonial (world) exhibitions, including Amsterdam, Paris, Australia and Vienna. where several prizes and awards are won. The company runs into financial difficulties beginning in the 1970s. In 1983, all activities cease and in 1994, after bankruptcy proceedings lasting 11 years, the company is removed from the trade register.
