Baroque Crystal Hurricane Candle Goblet with Ornate Brass Base

Design & Inspiration

Drawn from the grandeur of the Baroque and Rococo courts of 17th and 18th century Europe, this hurricane candle goblet commands presence with the quiet authority of a palace mantelpiece. The trumpet-shaped crystal cup catches light and refracts it into a constellation of prismatic sparkle, while the stacked faceted crystal spheres of the stem create a rhythm of weight and elegance that carries the eye downward to the showpiece brass base below. This is a piece conceived to be noticed — to anchor a console table, grace a formal dining centerpiece, or elevate a reception salon with old-world gravitas.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The crystal cup is hand-cut with a repeating starburst and diamond-point pattern, a technique rooted in the Bohemian and Baccarat crystal traditions of the 18th century. Each facet is ground and polished to optical clarity, transforming the piece into a living light fixture with or without a candle flame. The stem is formed from two large faceted crystal spheres, their surfaces cut in a geometric pattern that amplifies the refractive qualities of the glass. Below, the cast brass base is a masterwork of ornamental metalwork — deeply sculpted with acanthus scrolls, rocaille shell motifs, and openwork foliate arches that reveal the casting's three-dimensional depth. The base is finished with a lustrous plating that brings warmth and richness to the ensemble.

Dimensions & Details

Weighing 4 kg, this goblet has a substantial, reassuring presence in the hand and on the surface. The weight distribution — heavy base, ascending crystal lightness — mirrors the counterpoint of mass and delicacy that defines great Baroque design. The brass base features four scrolled feet that lift the piece slightly, allowing the full silhouette to be appreciated from all angles. Available in multiple brass finish variants to complement any interior palette.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every piece in the Brass & Wood collection is produced by skilled Egyptian artisans who carry forward centuries of metalworking and glass craft traditions. The brass base is individually cast, hand-finished, and plated in our Cairo workshops, while the crystal components are precision-cut to ensure consistency of clarity and pattern. Each goblet is individually inspected before dispatch, and arrives carefully packaged to protect its delicate crystal surfaces during transit. At Brass & Wood, we believe that luxury lies in the details — and every facet of this piece reflects that conviction.
