Rococo Brass & Crystal Candelabra Clock Garniture Set – Scrolling Acanthus 3-Piece

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative objects command a mantelpiece or console table with the authority of a classical garniture set. This three-piece Rococo ensemble — a central timepiece flanked by a pair of matching four-arm candelabras — faithfully reproduces the exuberant decorative spirit of eighteenth-century French court interiors. Inspired by the ateliers of Louis XV's Versailles, every curve, every tendril, every gilt flourish speaks to an era that celebrated natural forms translated into shimmering metal and luminous crystal. The set does not merely decorate a room; it anchors it, becoming the visual focal point around which all other furnishings orient themselves.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Each piece in this luxury garniture set is built around a hand-blown crystal vase body, its surface etched with delicate foliate tracery that catches and refracts ambient light. The ormolu-style brass mounts — cast and hand-chased by skilled artisans — encase the crystal in an embrace of scrolling acanthus leaves, rocaille cartouches, and sinuous C-scroll volutes that are the hallmark vocabulary of the Rococo idiom. The candelabras rise from leaf-cast petal bases through the crystal body to an explosion of branching arms, each terminating in a drip-pan cup ready to hold a taper candle. The central clock piece mirrors this silhouette precisely, substituting the upper candle branches for an ornately framed quartz clock dial surrounded by further acanthus scrollwork and a delicate cresting finial. All brass components are finished to a rich, warm tone through a multi-stage polishing and lacquering process, ensuring lasting brilliance.

Dimensions & Details

The complete set weighs approximately 4 kg total across the three pieces. The central clock stands as the tallest element, with the twin candelabras providing a harmonious graduated height on either side — a composition rooted in the Rococo principle of visual rhythm and balance. The clock is powered by a reliable quartz movement, ensuring accurate timekeeping with minimal maintenance. The set is sold as a 3-piece garniture and is available in multiple brass finishes to suit your interior palette.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Brass & Wood brings together Egypt's rich tradition of metalworking and decorative craftsmanship with the exacting standards of European classical design. Every piece in this garniture is handcrafted in our Egyptian atelier, where master craftsmen pour, chase, and assemble each brass component by hand before marrying it to the crystal body. This is not mass production — it is measured, deliberate artisanship, where each set receives individual attention from start to finish. The result is a luxury decorative object worthy of the finest reception rooms, private salons, and grand hallways.
