Rococo Brass Wall Mirror with Twin Candle Sconces and Cherub Crest

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative objects command a room quite like a mirror that doubles as a work of sculptural art. This Rococo brass wall mirror — faithfully inspired by the exuberant decorative language of eighteenth-century French court interiors — arrests the eye with its cartouche-shaped reflective field, its cascading asymmetrical foliage, and the crowning presence of a hand-cast cherub nestled among blossoming roses at the crest. Measuring 85 cm tall and 55 cm wide, it possesses the visual weight of a true salon statement piece without overwhelming intimate spaces. The twin glass candle sconces projecting from the lower frame transform this mirror from mere décor into an ambient lighting fixture — a design fusion that was utterly fashionable in the salons of Versailles and remains breathtaking today.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The frame is cast entirely in solid brass using traditional lost-wax and sand-casting techniques, allowing each acanthus scroll, rose cluster, and rocaille flourish to emerge with crisp, high-relief definition. The surface is then finished by hand — chased with fine tools to sharpen details and bring out the play of light across the undulating surfaces. The candle cups are formed from mouth-blown glass with a subtle amber tint, their organic bell shape echoing the period's love of naturalistic forms. Every element — from the leafy lateral sprays to the heart-shaped cartouche at the base — is assembled by skilled Egyptian artisans whose metalworking heritage traces back centuries. Total weight is approximately 4 kg, reflecting the density and integrity of the solid brass construction.

Dimensions & Details

This handcrafted brass wall mirror measures 85 cm (H) × 55 cm (W) × 15 cm (D) and weighs 4 kg. The depth of 15 cm accounts for the projection of the candle sconce arms, which extend gracefully outward from either side of the lower frame. The mirror glass itself is bevelled at the edges, adding a prismatic sparkle to the reflection. Mounting hardware is included; minimal assembly is required to attach the sconce arms before hanging. The piece is available in multiple brass finishes to suit your interior palette.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every mirror in the Brass & Wood collection is handcrafted in Egypt by master metalworkers who combine centuries-old brass-casting traditions with rigorous quality standards. Egypt's artisanal heritage in decorative metalwork — from the elaborate brasswork of Islamic Cairo to the ornamental flourishes of the Khedival palaces — lends our craftsmen an intuitive understanding of sculptural detail and surface refinement. When you hang this mirror in your home, you receive not only a luxury decorative object but also a living continuation of that rich craft tradition.
