Rococo Brass & Crystal 4-Arm Candelabra with Acanthus Scroll Frame

Design & Inspiration

Few objects command a room with the effortless authority of a grand candelabra. This four-arm masterpiece draws its spirit from the golden age of Rococo design — the mid-eighteenth century European courts where candlelight danced across gilded bronze and cut crystal, transforming every dinner table and salon into a theater of luxury. With its sweeping acanthus scroll frame, faceted crystal globe center drop, and four blossoming crystal candle cups, this candelabra does not merely hold candles — it orchestrates light itself.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The structural framework is cast and hand-finished in solid brass, shaped into an intricate composition of S-scrolls, C-scrolls, and naturalistic acanthus leaf clusters radiating from a central baluster column. Every curve has been hand-chased to achieve the crisp relief characteristic of authentic Rococo ormolu work. The central shaft features a faceted crystal sphere drop — a hallmark of eighteenth-century European candelabra design — which refracts ambient light into prismatic micro-bursts. The four candle cups are shaped as open lotus-petal crystal bowls with deeply cut diamond-point faceting, each secured atop its own turned brass nozzle. The platform base displays a cast rocaille apron with cabriole-footed stance, completing the sculptural composition with visual groundedness. All brass components are handcrafted at our Egyptian atelier and available in your choice of finish.

Dimensions & Details

Weighing 4 kg, this candelabra has the satisfying heft of a genuinely substantial decorative object. Its four-arm configuration spreads horizontally to create a bold centrepiece presence, while the tiered vertical arrangement — with one elevated central arm flanked by two mid-level arms and a lower frontal arm — adds dramatic architectural depth. It accommodates standard taper candles in all four positions. Please refer to the variant selector for available finish options.
