Rococo 5-Arm Candelabra with Blue Floral Porcelain & Scrolled Brass Arms

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative objects command a room the way a great candelabra does — and this five-arm Rococo candelabra, faithfully inspired by the exuberant court tradition of eighteenth-century France, is no exception. Its silhouette rises with the assured authority of an heirloom: a slender porcelain column hand-painted with cascading indigo peonies and garden blooms lifts into a corona of five sweeping cast-brass arms, each terminating in a matching porcelain candle cup. The composition is unmistakably Louis XV in spirit — asymmetric energy held within a perfectly balanced form, ornament celebrating nature rather than imposing geometry upon it.

Materials & Craftsmanship

This candelabra is a masterful dialogue between two noble materials. The central column and candle cups are crafted from fine porcelain, hand-decorated in the tradition of the great European manufakturen — Meissen, Delft, Sèvres — with cobalt-blue botanical motifs rendered in flowing, confident brushstrokes. The brass armature — base, collar, central knop, and five scrolling arms — is cast from solid brass and finished by hand, with acanthus-leaf relief detailing on the central knop and rocaille flourishes trailing from each arm. Every junction, every curve, every petal of relief carving has been attended to with the precision that defines Brass & Wood's handcrafted standard.

Dimensions & Details

Weighing 4 kg, the candelabra has the reassuring heft of quality construction. The five arms radiate outward and upward in a generous spread, making it equally suited to a long dining table centerpiece or a grand sideboard display. The cast brass base features deeply modeled rocaille scrolls that anchor the piece visually while softening any sense of heaviness. The porcelain column bears painted panels of peonies, chrysanthemums, and trailing leaves on a white ground — a motif that speaks to both European chinoiserie influence and classical botanical illustration.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every Brass & Wood candelabra is handcrafted in Egypt by artisans trained in classical European decorative traditions. The brass components are individually cast, filed, and hand-finished; the porcelain elements are sourced and decorated to museum-replica standards. This piece arrives ready to display and is available in multiple brass finish variants — Gold, Silver, and Antique Gold — allowing seamless integration into a wide range of interior palettes, from ivory-and-gilt classical salons to deep-toned contemporary interiors that welcome the contrast of old-world craft.
