We manufacture our PAINTING CANVAS onto rolls
of 2.10 m wide and 10 m long for export purposes, we also supply framed
canvas in all sizes and qualities
Our qualities are from rough texture painting canvas to very fine texture (for portraitpainting for instance)
For
study purposes we can also supply a "mixed" quality, this is a
combination of linen and cotton, or a mix of polyester fiber or even
pure cotton painting canvas, These are cheaper although also
qualitatively "made to last"
Our company is a small family owned business, it was founded in
1890 and has been manufacturing Artists canvas in the traditional way
ever since. Many famous painters have used and are still using our
painting canvas.
Gustaaf Van Mulders founded the company in 1890, later his two
sons Alfons and Petrus succeeded him untill the two sons decided to
split the business in 1967. In 1974 Leona Van Mulders took over
Alfons's business together with her cousin Wery De Knibber. Only just
recently Jan Van der Burght (son of Leona) took over the workshop and
shop, hoping to be able to continue the tradition .
We continue to prepare our canvas in the old traditional way,
using Rabit skin glue and our grandfathers special priming. The quality
of our painting canvas is our first priority. Our canvas is manually
stretched before preparation
