Baroque Brass 7-Arm Candelabra with Acanthus Stem & Scrolled Arms

Design & Inspiration

There are objects that do not merely illuminate a room — they command it. This handcrafted 7-arm brass candelabra is conceived in the grand Baroque tradition, drawing on the monumental decorative language of 17th-century European court interiors. When candlelight plays across its polished surface, the result is not simply light, but a choreography of warm reflections, shadow, and gilded radiance that transforms any dining table, reception hall, or mantelpiece into a stage set worthy of Versailles.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Cast and hand-finished entirely in solid brass, this candelabra is a testament to the enduring virtue of metal craftsmanship. The central stem swells into a richly worked acanthus-leaf node — a defining motif of classical ornament since antiquity — before tapering upward to a central candle cup. Seven arms branch outward and upward in graceful S-scroll curves, each terminating in a turned candle socket with a drip-catch bobeche. The tripartite base is cast with bold gadroon relief and rests on three scrolled sabot feet, providing both visual weight and physical stability. Every surface has been hand-polished to a warm, mirror-bright finish that reflects the available light and amplifies the candlelit atmosphere.

Dimensions & Details

Weighing 4 kg, this candelabra carries the reassuring heft of quality solid brass construction. It is designed to hold seven standard taper candles simultaneously — one central candle elevated above a symmetrical tier of six. The piece arrives requiring only minimal assembly of the detachable arms, ensuring safe shipping without compromising the integrity of the design. Available in multiple finishes — Gold, Silver, and Antique Gold — to complement a wide range of interior palettes.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every Brass & Wood candelabra is made by skilled Egyptian artisans working in a tradition of metalwork that spans millennia. Egypt's long heritage of bronze and brass casting, refined through centuries of Mamluk, Ottoman, and Khedival court decoration, means our craftsmen bring an intuitive mastery to every pour, every chisel strike, and every hour of hand-polishing. This piece is not mass-produced; it is made to order, and customization of finish or candle-arm configuration is available upon request.
