Rococo Brass 8-Arm Chandelier with Acanthus Scrollwork & Candelabra Arms

Design & Inspiration

There are lighting fixtures, and then there are statements in metal and fire. This Rococo-inspired brass chandelier, faithfully reproducing the exuberant spirit of 18th-century French court design, commands attention the moment it is suspended. Eight candelabra arms radiate outward and upward in sweeping, organic arcs, each terminating in a slender candle socket that mimics the drama of flickering candlelight. The overall silhouette — a dynamic coronet of gilded brass — evokes the grand salons of Versailles, where illumination was as much spectacle as function.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Cast and hand-finished entirely in brass, this chandelier is a testament to the enduring mastery of traditional metalwork. Every surface breathes with movement: acanthus leaves unfurl along the central shaft and cascade across the arm brackets, while delicate rocaille scrollwork and floral rosettes punctuate each junction. The arms themselves are modelled as naturalistic scrolling branches, a hallmark of the Louis XV Rococo vocabulary, where nature and ornament were inseparable. The finish achieves the warm, luminous depth of period gilt-bronze — rich without ostentation, radiant without harshness. Each chandelier weighs approximately 4 kg, reflecting the substantial quality of solid brass construction. Compatible with standard E14 candelabra bulbs up to 40W, it supports 110V/220V dual voltage for global use.

Dimensions & Details

This 8-arm chandelier accommodates 8 × E14 candelabra bulbs (max 40W each), ensuring an even, ambient wash of warm light suited to formal dining rooms, entrance halls, and reception spaces. The piece ships ready for minimal assembly and is compatible with a standard ceiling canopy. Its 4 kg weight requires a secure, rated ceiling fixture. Dual 110V/220V compatibility makes it suitable for homes worldwide.
