Baroque Crystal & Brass Two-Arm Candelabra with Engraved Urn Body

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative objects command a room with the authority of a finely wrought candelabra, and this two-arm piece draws deeply from the vocabulary of Baroque and Rococo grandeur. Rising from a richly detailed brass base adorned with acanthus leaf appliqués and scrolled bracket feet, the composition ascends through a faceted crystal sphere to an elongated engraved crystal urn — a form reminiscent of the centerpieces that graced the banqueting tables of the French court at Versailles. The whole is crowned by a bold pine-cone finial in cast brass, a motif dating to antiquity and reinterpreted with full Baroque exuberance. Two sweeping arms unfurl from the crown like gilded vine tendrils, each terminating in a fluted crystal bobeche and candlecup, ready to hold taper candles and cast warm, flickering light across crystal facets.

Materials & Craftsmanship

This candelabra is a collaboration between two noble materials: hand-cast brass and hand-engraved crystal. The brass components — base, lid collar, arm scrollwork, finial, and bobeches — are individually cast using the lost-wax method, then hand-finished to achieve the warmth of a high-polished surface. Every foliate scroll, every egg-and-dart border on the collar, and every acanthus relief on the base is chased by hand, giving each piece a texture and depth that machine production cannot replicate. The crystal body is a vertically engraved trumpet-shaped urn, its surface alive with geometric and floral cutting that refracts candlelight into prismatic brilliance. The spherical crystal node at the base of the urn adds visual weight and optical interest, a hallmark of fine European candelabra tradition. Weighing 4 kg, this piece has the satisfying heft of a genuine luxury object.

Dimensions & Details

With a weight of 4 kg, this candelabra has a commanding physical presence. It is suited to a generous console table, a formal dining room sideboard, a grand hallway credenza, or as a pair flanking a fireplace mantel. The two-arm configuration is the classic single-candelabra form, providing symmetrical candlelight without overwhelming a table setting. The piece is offered in multiple brass finish variants — Gold, Silver, and Antique Gold — allowing it to harmonize with a wide range of interior palettes from ivory and champagne to deep jewel tones.

Handcrafted in Egypt

This candelabra is handcrafted in Egypt by Brass & Wood artisans who inherit a tradition of metalwork and decorative arts that stretches across centuries. Each piece is individually cast, finished, and assembled by hand, ensuring that no two are absolutely identical — a mark of genuine craftsmanship in a world of mass production. Brass & Wood's commitment is to bring the grandeur of classical European decorative arts into the modern home, faithfully interpreting historic forms with contemporary quality standards. Every candelabra is inspected before despatch to ensure the crystal is free of chips and the brass finish is uniform and lustrous.
