Description
Design & Inspiration
There are pieces of lighting that merely illuminate a room — and then there are those that command it. This Baroque Brass 5-Arm Wall Sconce belongs firmly in the latter category. Inspired by the grandeur of 17th and 18th-century European palatial interiors, it faithfully reproduces the theatrical magnificence of Baroque wall luminaires found in the great châteaux of France and the imperial courts of Vienna. The tall, pierced backplate rises like a carved altarpiece, drawing the eye upward through scrolls, cartouches, and a crowning acanthus fan — before cascading outward into five sweeping candle arms that hold the warm light of ivory fabric shades. This is not mere decoration; it is architectural drama rendered in cast brass.
Materials & Craftsmanship
Every element of this wall sconce is cast in solid brass using the lost-wax technique, a method unchanged since the Renaissance. The backplate is a tour de force of decorative metalwork: at its apex, a deeply modelled acanthus-leaf fan — the motif that has adorned European royal interiors since antiquity — crowns a vase-form cartouche flanked by C-scrolls and foliate volutes. Below, a latticed mid-section of interlaced rocaille frames gives way to a floral bouquet boss at the base, the whole composition unified by a warm gilded finish applied by hand. The five candle arms curve outward in the classic Rococo S-scroll silhouette, each terminating in a reeded bobeche drip pan and a fluted column candle socket fitted with an E14 bulb holder. The ivory fabric shades are drum-shaped with a satin-edged border, filtering the candlelight into a soft, amber-warm glow that flatters any interior.
Dimensions & Details
This five-light wall sconce weighs 4 kg, reflecting the substantial mass of its all-brass construction. The sconce accommodates up to five E14 candle bulbs rated at 40W each and is compatible with both 110V and 220V electrical systems, making it suitable for installation across Egypt, Europe, and beyond. The ivory drum shades measure approximately 10 cm in diameter — a proportionate scale that preserves the delicacy of the candle arm silhouette without overwhelming the backplate's intricate detail. Available in Gold, Silver, and Antique Gold finishes to suit a range of interior palettes, from cream and champagne to deep walnut and ebony.
Handcrafted in Egypt
At Brass & Wood, every piece in our lighting collection is handcrafted in Egypt by artisans who have inherited generations of expertise in decorative metalwork. The lost-wax casting, hand-chasing of surface detail, and application of the gilded finish are each carried out by skilled hands — never by machine. We source our brass alloy for structural integrity and acoustic resonance, ensuring that when you tap this sconce, it rings with the clear note of quality metal. Each piece is inspected individually before dispatch. Because this is a handcrafted product made to order, we invite you to inquire about customization: alternative finishes, shade colors, or bespoke arm configurations can be accommodated upon request.
Frequently Asked Questions
What materials is this wall sconce made from?
The sconce body, backplate, arms, and candle sockets are cast entirely in solid brass using traditional lost-wax casting. The shades are made from ivory woven fabric with a satin-trim border. There is no wood, resin, or plastic in the construction.
Is assembly required?
Minimal assembly is required — the shades and bulbs are fitted on-site, and the backplate mounts to the wall via concealed fixing points. Electrical connection should be carried out by a qualified electrician. Full fitting instructions are included.
Can this sconce be customized?
Yes. Brass & Wood offers customization on brass finish (Gold, Antique Gold, Silver), shade fabric and color, and arm count for larger bespoke commissions. Please contact our team with your requirements and we will provide a tailored quotation within 48 hours.
