Baroque Crystal Brass Chandelier 18-Arm with Cascading Crystal Pendants

Design & Inspiration

Few objects command a room quite like a grand classical chandelier. This Baroque-inspired, 18-arm brass and crystal chandelier draws on the magnificent lighting traditions of the Palace of Versailles and the great European courts of the 17th and 18th centuries. Spreading outward in two generously proportioned tiers, its scrolling acanthus-leaf arms radiate from a richly detailed central column crowned by an ornate foliate capital — instantly transforming any ceiling into a composition of light and shadow worthy of the grandest salons. This is a piece that does not merely illuminate; it presides.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The body of this chandelier is cast in solid brass, shaped and chased by hand to faithfully reproduce the organic, flowing relief of Baroque ornament. Each arm curves upward in the classic candle-holder form, terminating in a drip-pan bobeche that cradles an E14 candle-style bulb — echoing the silhouette of the tallow candles that once lit Europe's grandest interiors. The entire brass framework is available in your choice of finish, from radiant Gold to weathered Antique Gold or refined Silver, each applied by skilled artisans for depth and evenness. Suspended from every arm and from the lower tiers are hand-cut crystal pendants — faceted teardrops and elongated lantern forms — that fracture ambient light into prismatic showers across walls and ceilings. At 4 kg, the structure is substantial yet precisely balanced, engineered to hang securely from standard ceiling roses with minimal assembly.

Dimensions & Details

This chandelier accommodates 18 E14 candle-base bulbs (maximum 40W each, or LED equivalents recommended for energy efficiency and reduced heat). The dual-tier arm arrangement creates a broad, horizontal silhouette ideally suited to rooms with high ceilings — formal dining rooms, entrance halls, hotel lobbies, or palatial reception rooms. Compatible with both 110V and 220V electrical systems, making it ready for installation worldwide. The crystal drops are arranged in graduated lengths, creating the characteristic curtain of light that defines the classical European chandelier tradition.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every chandelier bearing the Brass & Wood name is produced in Egypt by artisans who have trained in the European classical tradition. The brass components are individually cast, hand-finished, and assembled with meticulous care. This is not mass production — it is the continuation of a craft heritage that traces its roots to the great ateliers of Paris and Vienna. When you install a Brass & Wood chandelier, you are not simply adding a light fitting; you are commissioning a work of decorative art that will define the character of its room for generations.
