Description

Design & Inspiration

There is a quiet drama in the way candlelight moves through glass — and this Rococo brass hurricane candleholder is designed to make the most of every flicker. Inspired by the grand decorative arts of 18th-century France, this piece faithfully reproduces the exuberant spirit of the Louis XV era: organic curves, naturalistic ornament, and a golden warmth that transforms any surface into a stage for light. Whether placed on a dining table, a hallway console, or a reception mantle, it commands attention without demanding it.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The base and column are cast and hand-finished in solid brass, enriched with a high-polish finish that catches and multiplies ambient light. The column rises from a wide, gadrooned dome base edged with scrolling Rococo volutes — each leaf and curve shaped by skilled craftsmen. The column itself is reeded in the classical tradition, broadening at its midpoint into a baluster form adorned with acanthus leaf appliqués. A decorative collar of cast foliate motifs crowns the column, cradling the globe and lending the composition its characteristic Rococo theatricality. The globe shade is hand-blown clear glass, its generous spherical form allowing maximum light diffusion while protecting the flame from drafts — a functional elegance the 18th century perfected.

Dimensions & Details

Weighing 4 kg, this hurricane candleholder has substantial physical presence — it is not a token ornament but a genuine statement piece. The weight reflects the density of its solid brass construction, ensuring stability on any surface. The piece is sold as a single unit and is available in multiple brass finish variants to suit your interior palette. Minimal assembly is required to seat the glass globe onto the brass column.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every candleholder bearing the Brass & Wood name is produced in Egypt by artisans trained in classical European metalworking traditions. The casting, finishing, and assembly of each piece is carried out by hand, ensuring that no two are precisely alike. This commitment to handcraft — using techniques that predate industrial production — is what separates a Brass & Wood piece from mass-produced decorative objects. When you place this candleholder in your home, you are receiving the accumulated skill of generations of craftsmen, rendered in enduring brass and glass.
