Rococo Brass & Crystal Candle Holder - Floral Stem with Engraved Round Base
Categories:
Design & Inspiration
There are objects that do not merely hold light — they become light. This handcrafted Rococo brass and crystal candle holder embodies the very spirit of eighteenth-century European decorative arts: playful yet refined, organic yet precisely composed. A sinuous gilt brass stem rises from a broad engraved circular base, branching into an asymmetrical flourish of scrollwork, a sculptural lily bloom, and graceful leaf appliqués before cradling a prismatic crystal cup that seems to gather and scatter light with equal generosity. Every curve speaks the language of Louis XV — the language of nature translated into metal.
Materials & Craftsmanship
The stand is cast and hand-finished in solid brass, worked by Egyptian artisans who honour the centuries-old tradition of European ormolu craftsmanship. The stem's scrollwork is crisply defined, the lily flower rendered with naturalistic petal depth, and the base bears a continuous field of repoussé-style foliate and rosette motifs pressed with confident precision. The candle cup itself is formed from faceted crystal — each cut plane acting as a miniature prism — resting on a shallow crystal tray that channels any wax drips gracefully. The brass finish is available in Gold, Silver, and Antique Gold, allowing the piece to harmonise with a wide range of classic and transitional interiors.
Dimensions & Details
Weighing 4 kg, this single-arm candle holder has a reassuring solidity that belies its delicate silhouette. The weighted circular base ensures stability even on polished surfaces, while the overall vertical composition makes it equally striking as a standalone accent piece or as part of a symmetrical pair flanking a mantelpiece, console table, or dining centrepiece. Please refer to your sales representative for precise dimensional specifications.
Handcrafted in Egypt
Brass & Wood brings together Egypt's deep heritage of metalwork mastery with the aesthetic vocabulary of classical European design. Each candle holder is individually cast, assembled, and finished by hand in our Egyptian workshops — making every piece a unique expression of craft rather than a mass-produced replica. We offer customisation in brass finish colour to ensure your piece integrates seamlessly into your space.
