Rococo 5-Arm Wall Sconce with Crystal Drops & Hurricane Glass Shades
Categories:
Design & Inspiration
There are fixtures that illuminate a room, and then there are those that transform it. This handcrafted Rococo 5-arm wall sconce belongs firmly to the latter category. Faithfully inspired by the luminous wall appliques that graced the salons and antechambers of 18th-century French châteaux, it brings the theatrical warmth of candlelight into the contemporary home — not as imitation, but as a living continuation of one of Europe's most exuberant decorative traditions. The moment it is mounted, a wall becomes a statement.
Materials & Craftsmanship
The sconce is built around a central brass body finished in your chosen metallic tone, cast and hand-chased to render the flowing acanthus scrollwork and foliate rosettes that define the Rococo vocabulary. Five elegantly curved arms radiate outward, each terminating in a candle-cup fitted with an E14 socket and crowned by a tall, flared hurricane glass shade — echoing the protective glass chimneys of Ancien Régime oil lamps. From every arm and from the richly detailed central column, faceted crystal drops hang in cascading tiers, catching and refracting light into prismatic constellations across the surrounding walls. The brass casting is dense and substantial — at 4 kg, you feel the quality immediately — while the crystal elements are individually mounted for maximum brilliance.
Dimensions & Details
Accommodating five E14 candle bulbs at up to 40W each, the sconce is compatible with 110V/220V supplies and connects via standard wall switch. The delicate crystal and hand-blown glass shades make this piece fragile by nature; it rewards careful handling and a dedicated place of honour on your wall. Minimal assembly is required upon delivery, with all mounting hardware included.
Handcrafted in Egypt
Every sconce bearing the Brass & Wood name is produced in our Egyptian workshops by artisans who have spent years mastering the casting, chasing, and assembly techniques inherited from European classical metalwork traditions. No two pieces are perfectly identical — the hand-chased brass surface carries the subtle irregularities that distinguish genuine craft from factory production. This is not merely a lighting fixture; it is a handcrafted object that will be noticed, admired, and passed on. Customization in finish color is available — please contact us to discuss your requirements.
