{"product_id":"baroque-hand-cast-brass-cut-crystal-chandelier-8-arm-acanthus-torchiere","title":"Baroque Hand-Cast Brass \u0026 Cut Crystal Chandelier - 8-Arm Acanthus Torchère","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Inspiration\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFew objects command a room as completely as a Baroque chandelier of this calibre. Inspired by the grandeur of 17th- and 18th-century European palatial lighting — the luminaires that once illuminated the halls of Versailles and the aristocratic salons of Vienna — this eight-arm chandelier faithfully reproduces the monumental drama, gilded opulence, and sculptural energy that define the Baroque idiom. Its silhouette rises from a pinecone finial at the base, swells through an etched crystal urn body, and fans out into eight sweeping arms, each crowned with a deeply relief-carved acanthus torchère cup holding a candle-flame bulb. This is not merely lighting — it is architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery element of this luxury chandelier is handcrafted by Egyptian artisans working within a tradition of classical European metalwork. The framework is fabricated from solid brass, sand-cast and then hand-chased to develop the crisp, three-dimensional acanthus leaf relief that cascades across each torchère cup. The scrolling arms are reeded — a classical detail that adds tactile depth and catches light at every curve. The central column and the lower bowl are formed from hand-etched crystal glass, its surface animated with a fine diamond-point geometric pattern that refracts candlelight into warm prismatic pools. The crowning canopy and all transitional collars are finished in the same warm brass tone, creating a unified, coherent composition that rewards close inspection as much as it does the view from across a grand room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis chandelier accommodates eight E14 candelabra-base bulbs (max 40W each) and is compatible with 110V\/220V electrical systems worldwide. The eight arms are arranged in a single tier, balancing visual lightness with ceremonial presence. The hanging chain and ceiling canopy are included, and minimal assembly is required for installation. Due to the crystal glass components, this piece is classified as fragile and should be handled with care during installation — professional installation is recommended for ceilings above 3.5 metres.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandcrafted in Egypt\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrass \u0026amp; Wood's chandeliers are produced in Egypt by craftsmen who have inherited generations of metalwork and glasswork expertise. Each piece undergoes individual quality inspection before dispatch. The acanthus relief work on the torchère cups is cast from master moulds, then hand-finished to ensure every leaf retains its sculptural sharpness. The result is a piece that carries the weight of European heritage and the precision of Egyptian craft in equal measure. Customisation is available — please enquire about alternate brass finishes, arm counts, and chain lengths to suit your space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials is this chandelier made from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chandelier is constructed from solid hand-cast brass for all structural and ornamental metalwork, and hand-etched crystal glass for the central column and lower bowl.
