Description
Design & Inspiration
There are objects that do not merely illuminate a room — they command it. This five-arm brass candelabra, faithfully inspired by the exuberant vocabulary of 18th-century French Rococo, is precisely such an object. Rising to 59 cm, its silhouette moves like frozen music: branches curling outward in asymmetric arcs, each terminating in a flared candle cup cradled within a burst of gilded foliage. The piece captures the spirit of the Louis XV court — theatrical, sensuous, and utterly confident in its own splendour.
Materials & Craftsmanship
Cast and finished entirely in brass, this candelabra embodies the goldsmith's tradition that flourished in the ateliers of Versailles. The metal is worked through a combination of lost-wax casting and hand-chasing, yielding a surface that rewards close inspection: every acanthus leaf is individually modelled, every scroll terminates with deliberate precision. The warm, radiant finish catches candlelight and ambient light alike, creating the flickering, animated glow that made Rococo interiors so theatrically alive. Weighing 4 kg, the piece carries the satisfying heft of genuine quality.
Dimensions & Details
Standing 59 cm tall with a footprint of 30 cm across, this candelabra is scaled for impact without overwhelming a table setting. Five candle arms radiate from a central stem adorned with a cartouche medallion, supported by a tripartite base dense with rocaille scrollwork, acanthus sprays, and shell-like cartouches — all hallmarks of the Rococo ornamental language. The three raised feet echo the era's love of sculptural support forms, lending the base visual lightness despite its substantial casting.
Handcrafted in Egypt
Every candelabra bearing the Brass & Wood name is handcrafted in Egypt by artisans whose skills descend from generations of metalworking tradition. Each piece is individually cast, chased, and finished — meaning no two are precisely identical and every surface carries the quiet signature of human hands. Available in multiple finish variants to suit your interior palette, and customisable on request to match bespoke specifications.
