Rococo Three-Arm Crystal & Brass Candelabra - Scrolled Foliate Crown

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative objects command a room with the same quiet authority as a well-crafted candelabra. This three-arm Rococo candelabra from Brass & Wood draws its spirit from the great workshops of eighteenth-century France — the gilded salons of Versailles, the candlelit dining rooms of the Parisian haute bourgeoisie — where light itself was considered an art form. Three candle arms rise from a central hub of intricate cast brass, their curvilinear lines unfurling like living vines, each tip cradling a fluted brass bobeche above a scallop-edged crystal drip tray that catches and refracts flame into a constellation of golden sparks.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The armature is cast in high-grade brass and hand-finished to achieve the warmth and depth characteristic of authentic period metalwork. Rococo scrollwork — asymmetric acanthus leaves, rocaille C-scrolls, and delicate floral appliqués — flows across the central cartouche and along each arm, executed with the crispness that only handcasting and hand-chasing can produce. The column stem is turned from optically clear faceted crystal, its vertical ribbing catching ambient light and lending the piece a luminous, weightless quality that contrasts beautifully with the visual mass of the brass crown above. The base repeats the Rococo vocabulary: a broad, lobate platform of cast brass decorated with scrolling foliage and shell motifs, providing stable visual grounding for the composition.

Dimensions & Details

Weighing 4 kg, this candelabra has the satisfying heft of a quality piece without being unwieldy. The three arms are arranged in a symmetrical fan — one central arm rising vertically, flanked by two lateral arms arching outward — creating a balanced silhouette that reads equally well from all angles. Each bobeche is gilded and ribbed; each crystal drip tray is cut with a petal motif around its scalloped rim. This candelabra is available in Gold, Silver, and Antique Gold brass finishes, allowing integration into a wide range of interior palettes from warm champagne to cool platinum.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every candelabra that leaves the Brass & Wood atelier in Egypt represents the convergence of European classical design heritage and the deep metalworking traditions of the Arab world. Our artisans hand-cast each brass component, hand-chase the scrollwork, and hand-assemble the crystal and brass elements to ensure alignment, finish quality, and structural integrity. This is not mass production — it is a continuation of a craft tradition, executed with modern precision and pride of authorship. Each piece is inspected before dispatch and packed with care befitting its fragility and value.
