Rococo 3-Arm Candelabra with Blue Floral Porcelain Cups & Scrolled Brass Base
Categories:
Design & Inspiration
There is a particular quality of candlelight that the Rococo masters understood better than any before them — its ability to animate a room, to cast dancing shadows across gilded surfaces and breathe warmth into the coldest marble hall. This handcrafted 3-arm candelabra by Brass & Wood channels that very spirit, uniting the exuberant scrollwork of the Louis XV era with the refined delicacy of hand-painted blue floral porcelain. The result is a centerpiece that does not merely hold candles — it commands a room. At 4 kg, this candelabra carries real presence and visual weight, the kind that anchors a dining table or transforms a console in a grand hallway into a focal point worthy of admiration.
Materials & Craftsmanship
The framework is cast in solid brass, shaped into sweeping S-scroll arms that branch outward from a central column in the purest Rococo tradition — asymmetric in feeling, perfectly balanced in execution. The brass surface is elaborately worked: acanthus leaf reliefs, rosette bosses at the arm junctions, and a tri-footed base where each leg terminates in a foliate scroll sabots. The three candle cups are fashioned from fine porcelain, each hand-painted with cobalt-blue peony and floral bouquet motifs that recall the celebrated Meissen and Delft traditions of 18th-century European decorative arts. The contrast between the warm metallic lustre of the brass and the cool white ground of the porcelain creates an interplay that is at once harmonious and visually dynamic. Every joint, every curvature is the work of skilled Egyptian artisans trained in classical European metalwork and ceramic painting traditions.
Dimensions & Details
This candelabra weighs 4 kg and is available in your choice of brass finish — Gold, Silver, or Antique Gold — allowing you to tailor the warmth or coolness of the metalwork to your interior palette. The piece holds three taper candles, one on the central upright arm and one each on the two lateral scrolled arms. The porcelain cups serve a dual function: as candle bobeches to catch wax drips, and as decorative elements in their own right, each uniquely painted with botanical motifs in the Delft blue-on-white idiom.
Handcrafted in Egypt
Brass & Wood is proud to produce this candelabra entirely in Egypt, where our craftsmen combine generations of metalworking heritage with rigorous training in classical European decorative styles. Each piece is individually cast, assembled, and finished by hand — no two are precisely identical. The porcelain cups are painted by ceramic artists who have studied the great blue-and-white traditions of 18th-century Europe, ensuring that every brushstroke carries meaning and precision. This is luxury home décor with a soul — not a mass-produced ornament, but a handcrafted heirloom in the making.
