Rococo Hand-Cast Brass Floor Lamp with Scrolled Arm & Pleated Ivory Shade

Design & Inspiration

In the great salons of eighteenth-century France, light was never merely functional — it was theatre. This Rococo floor lamp, faithfully inspired by the ornamental vocabulary of the Louis XV era, brings that same philosophy of luminous drama into the modern interior. Its sweeping scrolled arm, crowned with a cascading foliate finial and trailing acanthus motifs, arcs gracefully outward to suspend a softly gathered ivory shade — casting a warm, diffused glow that flatters every surface it touches. This is a lamp designed not to disappear into a room, but to anchor it.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Every element of this floor lamp is hand-cast in solid brass, then meticulously hand-finished by master artisans trained in classical metalworking traditions. The central column is reeded and adorned with climbing foliate relief — a signature of Rococo naturalism — rising from a boldly sculpted quadruped base whose cabriole feet terminate in scroll sabots. The ornate bridge arm is embellished with open-work scrolls, budding florals, and a layered acanthus finial atop the post, demonstrating the depth of three-dimensional casting that distinguishes handcrafted brass from machine production. The pleated ivory fabric shade diffuses light with an elegant softness, its gathered folds adding textural counterpoint to the richness of the metalwork below.

Dimensions & Details

The lamp stands as a commanding floor piece, engineered for living rooms, private libraries, and grand reception halls where scale and presence matter. The pleated shade measures approximately 35 cm in diameter, and the lamp accommodates a standard E27 Edison screw bulb up to 60W, compatible with both 110V and 220V systems. A single On/Off switch ensures straightforward operation. Available in Gold, Antique Gold, and Silver finishes to complement a range of interior palettes.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Crafted in Egypt by Brass & Wood's specialist artisans, this floor lamp represents a living continuation of European classical design traditions. Each piece passes through multiple stages of hand-finishing — from raw casting and sanding through to polishing and lacquering — ensuring that no two lamps are precisely identical. The result is a fixture with genuine character: the subtle variation in surface relief, the warmth of hand-applied finish, the satisfying weight of solid brass. When you invest in this lamp, you are acquiring not a factory product, but a handcrafted object worthy of the traditions that inspired it.
