Baroque Crystal Ball Brass Candlestick Set of 3 - Graduated Heights with Acanthus Base

Design & Inspiration

There is a moment, when candlelight passes through a faceted crystal sphere and scatters across a gilded brass base, that no electric light can replicate. This set of three handcrafted Baroque-Neoclassical candlesticks from Brass & Wood captures exactly that moment — and makes it a permanent feature of your interior. Presented in three graduated heights, the set creates a rhythmic, architectural presence on any mantelpiece, dining table, or console, evoking the grandeur of 17th-century European palatial interiors.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Each candlestick in this luxury set is constructed from solid cast brass and hand-polished crystal glass spheres. The brass is worked using traditional lost-wax casting and hand-chasing techniques, resulting in deeply defined acanthus leaf relief across the wide, scalloped base — a hallmark motif of the Baroque period. The stem consists of one, two, or three stacked faceted crystal balls depending on the height variant, each precisely cut to maximize light refraction and locked into position between finely turned brass collars. The drip-guard bobeche at the crown is likewise framed in relief-carved brass, marrying function with decorative intent. The finish — available in Gold, Silver, and Antique Gold — is applied by hand, ensuring no two sets are entirely identical.

Dimensions & Details

The set comprises three candlesticks in graduated heights: small, medium, and large — designed to be displayed together as a cohesive trio or individually as standalone accent pieces. The total weight of the set is 4 kg, indicative of the substantial solid brass construction. Each candlestick accommodates a standard taper candle. The crystal spheres are multi-faceted, cut in a cross-hatch diamond pattern that refracts candlelight into prismatic reflections across surrounding surfaces.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every piece in the Brass & Wood collection is handcrafted in Egypt by skilled artisans who carry forward centuries of metalworking tradition. The brass casting, crystal cutting, assembly, and finishing are all executed by hand in our Cairo workshop, where European classical design meets Egyptian craftsmanship. This set is available in multiple brass finishes and can be customized upon request. Delivery is completed within 15–30 days, and each set is carefully packaged to protect the crystal components during transit.
