Rococo 3-Arm Candelabra with Faceted Crystal Column & Scrollwork Base

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative objects command a room's attention quite like a towering three-arm candelabra rooted in the grandeur of Rococo design. This handcrafted piece faithfully reproduces the exuberant spirit of the Louis XV era — a period when French decorative arts reached their most inventive and sensuous peak. The interplay between luminous crystal and warm gilded brass creates a visual drama that is both theatrical and refined, evoking the candlelit salons of 18th-century Versailles.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The structural column is formed from hand-cut, vertically ribbed crystal glass, its faceted surface refracting light into soft prismatic patterns across any surrounding surface. This crystal shaft is cradled by cast brass fittings — a domed capital above and acanthus-leaf collar mounts at the mid-section — each piece individually cast and hand-finished. The three scrolling arms extend from a central brass hub in the tradition of classic Rococo candelabra design: each arm curves in an elongated C-scroll terminating in a flared bobeche drip pan and deep candle cup, themselves decorated with foliate relief. The base is an impressive cast brass plinth, its square silhouette softened by bold Rococo cartouche panels, acanthus scrollwork, and cabriole corner feet — a masterclass in the decorative grammar of the period.

Dimensions & Details

Weighing 4 kg, this candelabra has the reassuring physical presence of a true statement piece. The combination of heavy cast brass and genuine crystal ensures it will not tip or wobble on a dining table or console. It accommodates three standard taper candles and arrives requiring only minimal assembly — attaching the arms to the central column. Available in multiple brass finishes to suit any interior palette.
