Baroque Brass & Crystal 12-Arm Chandelier with Acanthus Scroll Canopy

Design & Inspiration

Few objects command a room the way a truly grand chandelier does — and this 12-arm Baroque brass and crystal chandelier demands precisely that authority. Inspired by the opulent court lighting of 17th and 18th century European palaces, this piece faithfully reproduces the sculptural drama of the Baroque era: bold, asymmetric acanthus scrollwork sweeps upward through two tiers of radiating candle arms, crowned by a deeply carved floral canopy from which the entire composition descends. The warm, burnished finish of the cast brass catches candlelight in the way gilded bronze once illuminated the halls of Versailles and the Palazzo Reale — alive, shifting, and entirely magnetic.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Every element of this chandelier is hand-cast in solid brass using traditional lost-wax and sand-casting methods, with each acanthus leaf, scroll volute, and candle bobeche individually finished by skilled artisans. The crystal drops — elongated spear-form and faceted almond pendants — are precision-cut to refract light at maximum brilliance, scattering prismatic reflections across ceilings and walls. Twelve E14 candelabra sockets are mounted on sweeping, organically curving arms across two registers: a broad lower tier of eight arms and an upper tier of four, all converging at a turned central column that rises to the ornate canopy above. The result is a composition of extraordinary visual weight — sculptural in three dimensions, opulent in material quality.

Dimensions & Details

This chandelier spans approximately 70 cm in shade diameter, making it ideally proportioned for dining rooms, entrance halls, grand reception rooms, and formal salons with ceiling heights of 3 metres or above. It accommodates 12 × E14 candle-style bulbs (max 40W each), is compatible with both 110V and 220V electrical systems, and is supplied with a ceiling canopy for direct hardwired installation. Weight: 4 kg. Minor assembly of crystal drops and final canopy fitting is required upon installation.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Produced in Egypt by Brass & Wood's master metalworkers and lighting artisans, this chandelier carries the full heritage of Egyptian craft excellence — a tradition that has produced metalwork of extraordinary refinement for millennia. Each piece is individually inspected before despatch, ensuring that the acanthus detailing is crisp, the crystal fittings are secure, and the brass finish is uniform and luminous. Customisation is available: the brass finish can be specified in Gold, Silver, or Antique Gold, and crystal drop configurations may be adjusted upon request. Delivery is typically 30–45 days from order confirmation.
