Louis XV Rococo Brass Chandelier - 12-Arm Acanthus Scroll
Categories:
Design & Inspiration
Few objects command a room with the effortless authority of a grand brass chandelier. This 12-arm masterpiece, faithfully crafted in the tradition of Louis XV Rococo — the most exuberant and lyrical decorative movement of 18th-century France — fills the space above it with cascading curves, gilded acanthus leaves, and the warm promise of candlelight. It is the kind of fixture that transforms an entry hall into a palace foyer, a dining room into a banqueting chamber.
Materials & Craftsmanship
Cast and hand-finished in solid brass, every inch of this chandelier reveals the skill of the artisan who shaped it. The central column rises from a richly carved acanthus bouquet, branching outward into 12 sweeping scrolled arms, each terminating in a leafy candle cup designed for E14 candle-style bulbs. The surfaces are alive with rocaille flourishes — asymmetric C-scrolls, stylized foliage, and the restless organic energy that defines authentic Rococo ornament. The brass is finished to a lustrous gold tone (available also in Antique Gold and Silver), catching and reflecting light in the way only hand-cast metal can.
Dimensions & Details
With 12 E14 candle sockets accepting bulbs up to 40W each, this chandelier delivers generous, warm ambient illumination suited to large dining rooms, double-height reception halls, and formal living spaces. It is compatible with both 110V and 220V electrical systems, making it suitable for homes and hospitality projects worldwide. Minimal assembly is required for hanging; full installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician.
Handcrafted in Egypt
At Brass & Wood, every chandelier is produced by skilled Egyptian craftsmen who carry forward centuries of metalworking tradition. The intricate casting, the hand-chasing of details, and the multi-stage polishing and finishing process result in a piece of genuine quality — not a mass-produced import, but a handcrafted luxury fixture built to last generations. Each piece is inspected individually before dispatch, ensuring it arrives in perfect condition.
