Baroque Brass Wall Sconce 4-Arm with Acanthus Carvings & Ivory Fabric Shades

Design & Inspiration

There is a moment — when warm candlelight spills through ivory fabric shades and catches the relief of cast acanthus leaves — that a room ceases to be merely a room and becomes a statement of refined living. This Baroque brass wall sconce, faithfully reproducing the grandeur of 17th- and 18th-century European palatial lighting, delivers precisely that moment. Its four sweeping arms reach outward from a richly cast central body, crowned by an upward spray of feathered fronds that rise like a ceremonial plume, lending the sconce an unmistakable silhouette that commands attention on any wall.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Cast entirely in solid brass, every surface of this sconce reveals the hand of a skilled artisan. The central column is adorned with deeply relief-cast acanthus scrolls, rosette medallions, and cartouche panels — motifs drawn directly from the vocabulary of Baroque decorative arts, where nature was disciplined into symmetrical grandeur. The four candle arms extend in organic, branch-like curves, each terminating in a drip-pan holder that receives E14 candle bulbs. The feathered crown above is cast in a single flowing piece, its individual fronds catching light and shadow at every angle. Paired with domed ivory fabric shades trimmed with delicate embroidered detailing, the overall composition balances the weight of the metal with the softness of the textile.

Dimensions & Details

This wall sconce measures 45 cm wide × 45 cm high × 20 cm deep, making it a substantial yet wall-hugging presence suited to entranceways, dining rooms, grand reception halls, and master bedrooms. It accommodates 4 × E14 candle bulbs at up to 40W each. The piece weighs 4 kg and is supplied with a wall-mount backplate for straightforward installation. Available in multiple brass finishes — each variant brings a distinct character to the same exceptional casting.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every Brass & Wood sconce is individually cast and finished by master craftsmen in Egypt, drawing on generations of metalworking heritage. The patinated finish is applied by hand to develop depth and warmth in the brass relief, ensuring no two pieces are entirely identical. This is not mass-produced lighting — it is a handcrafted object with the presence of a heirloom, designed to age gracefully and elevate the spaces it inhabits for decades to come.
