Louis XV Rococo Solid Brass 5-Arm Chandelier with Acanthus Scroll Arms

Design & Inspiration

There is a particular quality of light that only a cast brass candle chandelier can conjure — warm, dancing, and alive with the flicker of five open flames suspended in mid-air. This Louis XV Rococo 5-arm chandelier captures precisely that spirit, drawing on the most exuberant period of French decorative arts to bring a sense of theatrical grandeur into the modern home. Every curve, every leaf, every cast acanthus volute whispers of the grand salons of Versailles and the gilded chambers of 18th-century European aristocracy.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Cast entirely from solid brass, this chandelier is a triumph of the metalworker's craft. Each of the five scrolling arms unfurls from a central column in a fluid, naturalistic gesture that is wholly characteristic of the Rococo aesthetic — asymmetric, organic, and visually restless. The arms terminate in wide, scallop-edged candle drip trays, each cradling an E14 candelabra socket designed for candle-shaped bulbs up to 40W. The ceiling canopy is adorned with cast acanthus leaf relief, echoing the decorative vocabulary repeated across the arm junctions and central body. The finish is achieved through a multi-stage polishing and lacquering process that gives the brass its rich, mirror-like warmth without sacrificing depth of tone.

Dimensions & Details

Weighing 4 kg, this chandelier is robust yet elegantly proportioned. With a spread of approximately 50 cm across its five arms and suspended on a brass-link chain of adjustable length, it is ideally suited to dining rooms, entrance hallways, reception areas, and intimate sitting rooms where a statement centrepiece is desired without overwhelming the space. Compatible with both 110V and 220V electrical systems, it suits international installations without modification. Five E14 candle-type bulbs (not included) complete the period-appropriate silhouette.

Handcrafted in Egypt

At Brass & Wood, every piece in our lighting collection is produced by skilled Egyptian artisans working within a tradition of metalcasting and finishing that has no shortcut. This chandelier is handcrafted in Egypt, with each arm cast individually, hand-finished, and assembled to exacting tolerances. The result is a luminaire that does not merely illuminate — it anchors a room, sets a mood, and becomes part of the architecture of a cherished interior. Customization of finish color is available: choose from polished gold, antique gold, or silver to complement your existing décor.
