Louis XV Rococo Brass & Crystal 8-Arm Chandelier with Acanthus Scrollwork

Design & Inspiration

There are pieces that do not merely illuminate a room — they define it. This handcrafted eight-arm chandelier, faithfully inspired by the exuberant spirit of Louis XV Rococo design, commands every space it graces with a luminous authority that no contemporary fixture can replicate. Suspended from an ornately cast brass column embellished with flowing foliate relief, the chandelier unfolds outward in a sweeping cascade of S-scroll and C-scroll arms, each terminating in a candle bobeche ready to hold an E14 candle-style bulb. At its heart hangs a generously proportioned fluted crystal urn — its vertical ribbing catching and refracting light into a cascade of prismatic brilliance — anchored at its base by a gilded acanthus-leaf finial of uncommon sculptural presence.

Materials & Craftsmanship

This chandelier is a masterful interpretation of 18th-century French decorative metalwork, brought to life by the skilled hands of Egyptian artisans at Brass & Wood's workshop. The frame is cast in solid brass, hand-finished to achieve the warm luminosity that defines fine period hardware. Each scroll arm is individually shaped and adorned with naturalistic acanthus leaf appliqués — motifs that have graced European palatial interiors since the Renaissance. The central urn is fashioned from faceted crystal glass with vertical fluted channels, a technique that maximizes light dispersion and lends the piece its characteristic radiance. Candle-drip wax accents on each bobeche enhance the period illusion with authentic charm.

Dimensions & Details

Designed to make a commanding statement in formal dining rooms, grand reception halls, and wide entrance foyers, this chandelier spans approximately 60 cm in diameter — a presence that balances scale with refinement. The eight-arm configuration ensures generous, even illumination suited to spaces of distinction. Compatible with both 110V and 220V electrical systems, it accommodates international installations without modification. Each E14 socket accepts candle bulbs up to 40W, ensuring both classic warmth and LED compatibility for energy-conscious owners.
