Neoclassical Brass Wall Sconce Mirror with Bow Crest & Twin Candle Arms

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative objects command a wall with the quiet authority of a gilded girandole sconce. This Neoclassical brass wall sconce, faithfully inspired by the Louis XVI and Adam period tradition, unites the reflective intimacy of an oval mirror with the warm ceremony of twin candle-arm lighting. The elongated vertical composition — flowing from a bow-and-ribbon crest through a spirally wrapped column down to scrolling acanthus supports — captures the disciplined elegance that defined late 18th-century European court interiors. Whether flanking a console in an entry hall or gracing a formal salon wall, this piece transforms any surface into a composition of golden light and classical form.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Cast entirely in solid brass, every element of this sconce is handcrafted by Brass & Wood's master metalworkers in Egypt. The bow-and-ribbon crest — a defining motif of the Neoclassical repertoire — is formed with crisp sculptural precision, its looping silhouette edged with delicate fluting and centered on a rosette medallion. The central shaft features a twisted rope-form column that transitions into S-curved candle arms, each terminating in a drip-pan bobeche and E14 candle socket. The oval mirror sits within an egg-and-dart molded frame, its bevel reflecting the warm glow of the flanking candle arms to amplify light beautifully. The finish is available in Gold, Silver, and Antique Gold — each applied by hand for depth and luminosity.

Dimensions & Details

This wall sconce accommodates two E14 candle bulbs (max 40W each) and is compatible with 110V/220V electrical systems worldwide. The portrait-oriented silhouette makes it ideally suited to tall, narrow wall spaces — between windows, above console tables, or as symmetrical pairs in a formal corridor. The piece weighs 4 kg, reflecting the substantial quality of solid brass construction. Minimal assembly is required for wall mounting.

Handcrafted in Egypt

At Brass & Wood, we believe luxury lies in the hands that shape it. Every sconce in this collection is produced in our Cairo workshop, where artisans trained in European classical metalworking techniques cast, chase, and finish each piece individually. This is not mass-produced lighting — it is a handcrafted object that carries the mark of its maker. As a premium Egyptian replica of the European girandole tradition, it brings the grandeur of Versailles-era interiors into the modern home, crafted with integrity and offered with pride.
