Rococo Five-Arm Candelabra in Blue Floral Porcelain with Gilt Brass Scrollwork

Design & Inspiration

There is something timeless about the marriage of hand-painted porcelain and gilded brass — a combination that defined the most refined interiors of 18th-century Europe. This five-arm candelabra draws directly from the Rococo tradition, where nature's soft abundance — trailing roses, delicate blossoms, unfurling petals — was rendered in cobalt and white on porcelain surfaces as fine as silk. Resting on an ornate gilt brass base with scrolled acanthus feet and rising through a graceful baluster column to five elegantly curved arms, this piece carries the unmistakable visual poetry of the Louis XV period into the contemporary home.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Each element of this candelabra reflects deliberate artisanal intent. The column, bobeches, and candle cups are fashioned from high-fired porcelain, hand-painted with a flowing blue floral motif — a design language descended from the celebrated Meissen and Delft traditions, where cobalt pigment was applied by skilled painters working freehand to achieve the naturalistic spontaneity of each bloom. The brass armature — comprising the five S-scroll arms, the central boss, and the scrolled-acanthus base — is cast, hand-finished, and gilded to a warm gold tone. The contrast between the cool ivory-white porcelain and the warm luminosity of the gilded brass is not incidental; it is the very essence of Rococo elegance.

Dimensions & Details

Standing at 50 cm tall with a spread of 27 cm across its five arms, this candelabra commands attention without overwhelming a tabletop or sideboard. It accommodates five standard taper candles, each seated in a porcelain bobeche that echoes the floral motif of the column below. At 4 kg, the piece has the satisfying physical weight of quality craftsmanship. Five arms radiate from a central gilded hub decorated with foliate castings, each arm terminating in its own scroll flourish before meeting the porcelain candle cup above.
