Empire Neoclassical Five-Arm Candelabra Floor Lamp on Green Marble Pedestal Column with Flame Glass Shades

Design & Inspiration

Rising with imperial authority, this five-arm candelabra floor lamp is a direct homage to the grand luminaires of the Napoleonic Empire period — an era that fused the severity of ancient Rome with the opulence of French court culture. The soaring green marble column, adorned with gilded ormolu appliqués of anthemion fan motifs and draped swag festoons, commands the room with the same visual weight as the palatial interiors of Malmaison or Fontainebleau. This is not merely a light fixture; it is an architectural declaration of refined taste.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The pedestal column is fashioned from richly veined Egyptian green marble, its deep forest hue providing a dramatic foil to the warm, hand-polished brass metalwork. Cast brass ormolu mounts — featuring anthemion sunburst medallions and cascading laurel swags — are individually applied to the marble shaft, each element hand-finished to ensure crisp definition. The column rests upon a heavily cast brass plinth base, itself engraved with acanthus leaf borders and classical palmette friezes. Crowning the assembly is an ornate urn-form candelabra body in cast brass, from which five scrolled arms extend, each terminating in a petal-cup candle socket cradling a frosted flame-form glass shade. The interplay of gilded brass and the translucent white glass creates a luminous warmth evocative of candlelit salons of centuries past.

Dimensions & Details

This commanding floor lamp is designed to serve as a primary light source and sculptural focal point simultaneously. With five E14 candle-base sockets and frosted flame glass shades, it delivers a soft, ambient glow ideal for reception rooms, formal living areas, and grand hallways. The brass components are available in multiple finishes — Gold, Silver, and Antique Gold — allowing precise calibration to your interior's palette. The square plinth base ensures stability on marble or parquet floors, while the overall vertical composition draws the eye upward, amplifying perceived ceiling height.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every element of this floor lamp is produced in the Brass & Wood atelier in Egypt, where master craftsmen with decades of experience in classical European furniture and lighting replica work apply time-honored techniques: lost-wax brass casting for the candelabra body and mounts, hand-chasing of cast details to restore crispness, and careful marble selection for color consistency and vein character. Each lamp undergoes individual quality inspection before dispatch. As with all Brass & Wood creations, full customization is available — including finish, marble color, and shade style — to meet the specific requirements of interior design projects and private commissions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials is this floor lamp made from?

The lamp combines three primary materials: Egyptian green marble for the pedestal column, hand-cast and hand-finished brass for all metalwork (candelabra body, arms, mounts, and plinth), and frosted mouth-blown glass for the five flame-form shades. No plastic or resin components are used in the primary structure.

Is assembly required?

Minimal assembly is required. The candelabra head and pedestal column arrive in protective packaging as separate modules and connect securely without specialist tools. Full assembly instructions are included. We recommend two persons for safe handling during assembly due to the weight of the marble column.

Can this lamp be customized?

Yes. Brass & Wood offers full customization on this model, including choice of brass finish (Gold, Antique Gold, Silver, Bronze, and others), marble column color (green, black, beige, and additional Egyptian marble varieties), number of arms, and shade style.
