Baroque Hand-Carved Brass Floor Lamp with Crystal Drops & Pleated Ivory Shade

Design & Inspiration

There are pieces of lighting that do far more than illuminate a room — they command it. This Baroque-inspired floor lamp rises with the unmistakable authority of 17th-century European court interiors: a tall, tapering column of hand-carved brass, swelling and narrowing through acanthus-relief nodes, its surface alive with the warm, liquid glow of gold. It is the kind of lamp that belongs beside a velvet-upholstered settee, beneath a coffered ceiling, or anchoring the far end of a reception hall — a vertical sculpture that transforms ambient light into theater.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The entire column is cast and hand-finished in brass, with each ornamental tier individually carved to reveal deeply sculpted acanthus leaves, scrollwork, and floral rosettes that are hallmarks of the Baroque decorative vocabulary. The base fans outward in a broad, leaf-carved plinth that grounds the lamp's considerable visual weight. Suspended between the carved column sections, delicate faceted crystal drops catch and scatter light in every direction, adding a Rococo lightness to the Baroque structure. The pleated ivory fabric shade — gathered into soft, even folds — diffuses the light warmly downward while its own gentle translucency creates a luminous crown at the apex. Weighing 4 kg, this lamp balances visual grandeur with practical stability.

Dimensions & Details

The shade measures approximately 40 cm in diameter, proportioned to crown the tall brass column without overwhelming its decorative complexity. The lamp accepts a standard E27 Edison screw bulb (up to 60W) and is compatible with both 110V and 220V electrical systems, making it suited for homes across Egypt, Europe, and beyond. Minimal assembly is required — the shade and final column section are attached on delivery.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every lamp in this collection is produced in Egypt by artisans trained in classical European metalwork traditions. At Brass & Wood, we believe that handcrafted luxury should be accessible — which is why each piece is finished to the same standard as the European originals that inspired it, yet offered at a fraction of the cost of sourcing from European ateliers. Customization of the brass finish — available in Gold, Silver, and Antique Gold — means this lamp integrates seamlessly with your existing interior palette. Lead time is 30–45 days from order confirmation.
