Neoclassical 7-Arm Brass & Marble Candelabra with Foliate Ormolu Base

Design & Inspiration

This commanding 7-arm candelabra evokes the grandeur of the Neoclassical and Empire periods — the age of Napoleon's gilded salons and the formal splendour of 19th-century European court interiors. Rising with confident verticality, the piece commands the eye from its broad ormolu base upward through a veined marble column to a crown of seven scrolled brass arms, each terminating in a finely detailed bobeche and candle cup. Every line of this candelabra speaks the language of classical authority, where symmetry and opulence are not merely aesthetic choices but declarations of refined taste.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The structure is built around a central column of richly veined natural marble — its warm brown and grey tones lending an organic counterpoint to the radiant cast brass that encases and adorns it. The brass components are lost-wax cast and hand-finished, with foliate acanthus motifs scrolling across the base, egg-and-dart banding encircling the mid-section, and delicate urn-form finials punctuating the upper shaft. The seven arms unfurl in graceful rocaille-inflected scrolls, evoking both classical restraint and ornate festivity. At the base, four cabriole-style legs with acanthus-leaf sabots anchor the composition with sculptural weight, while a central cartouche medallion adorns the apron. The finish — available in Gold, Silver, and Antique Gold — is applied by hand, ensuring each piece carries the subtle individuality of the artisan's touch.

Dimensions & Details

Weighing 4 kg, this candelabra is substantial enough to anchor a dining table centrepiece or console display without appearing excessive. The seven candle arms are arranged in a classical radial formation — one crowning the apex and six radiating outward at two tiers — maximizing candlelight distribution for evening ambiance. This piece is sold as a single unit and is available in multiple brass finish variants to suit your interior palette.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every candelabra in the Brass & Wood collection is handcrafted in Egypt by artisans trained in the classical European metalworking tradition. From the initial wax model to the final hand-polishing of each brass arm, no two pieces are precisely identical — a hallmark of genuine handcraft. Brass & Wood brings the legacy of European decorative arts into the modern home, faithfully interpreting the vocabulary of Neoclassical design with the integrity of traditional manufacture. This candelabra is available for customization in brass finish, allowing you to match your existing décor palette precisely.
