Rococo Louis XV Hand-Cast Brass Chandelier – 10-Arm Acanthus Scroll Candelabra

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative objects command a room with the authority of a true Rococo chandelier. This handcrafted 10-arm brass candelabra chandelier, faithfully inspired by the exuberant French Louis XV aesthetic of the mid-18th century, transforms any ceiling it graces into the vault of a Versailles salon. The cascading acanthus-leaf scrolls spiral upward along the central stem and radiate outward through ten dramatically curved arms — each terminating in a slender candle-cup holder that echoes the taper of a genuine wax taper. This is not merely a light fitting; it is a sculptural event suspended in space.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Every element of this chandelier is hand-cast in solid brass, using traditional lost-wax casting techniques that allow the craftsman to capture the finest undulation of each acanthus leaf, the tension of each rocaille curl, and the drama of the central baluster column. The result is a depth of relief impossible to achieve through modern die-casting. The brass body is then hand-finished and polished to a warm, radiant lustre that catches and reflects candlelight with extraordinary vitality. This piece is produced at Brass & Wood's atelier in Egypt by master metalworkers trained in the classical European tradition, ensuring every arm, every scroll, and every candle cup meets the exacting standards of a premium luxury replica.

Dimensions & Details

The chandelier spans approximately 60 cm in diameter and carries ten E14 candelabra-base bulb sockets, each rated for up to 40W. The multi-tiered arrangement — with an upper ring of five arms and a lower ring of five — creates the layered visual depth characteristic of the grandest 18th-century French chandeliers. The ceiling canopy is itself a decorative element, formed as a broad foliate disc that transitions organically into the central stem. Compatible with both 110V and 220V electrical systems, it suits palaces, grand villas, hotel lobbies, formal dining rooms, and entrance halls alike.

Handcrafted in Egypt

At Brass & Wood, we believe that genuine luxury cannot be mass-produced. Every chandelier that leaves our Egyptian workshop has been shaped, assembled, and finished by hand — a process that honors the craft traditions of the 18th-century Parisian ateliers that first produced these masterpieces. When you hang this chandelier, you are not simply installing a light fixture; you are introducing a living piece of European decorative heritage into your home. Custom finishes and arm configurations are available upon request.
