Louis XV Rococo · 15 Lights · Cast Brass · Putti & Acanthus Chandelier
A 15-light chandelier in the language of 18th-century French court lighting — Louis XV Rococo styling rendered in cast brass, with sculpted putti (cherub figures) clustered around the central column, scrolled foliate arms terminating in acanthus-leaf bobeches, and ornate cast detailing throughout the body and finial. The composition references the great ormolu (gilt bronze) chandelier tradition of the French court palaces and aristocratic estates of the 18th and 19th centuries.
Built for traditional, formal, and historic-restoration interiors. At ∅ 37.4″ × H 35.4″ (95 × 90 cm) with 15 candle-arm lights, this is a specification-grade fixture — every cherub, scroll, and acanthus leaf is cast in solid brass and hand-finished, with the depth of detail visible at close range. Suited to formal dining rooms, grand foyers, sitting rooms, formal living rooms, libraries, luxury hotel suites, and historic-property restoration projects in Louis XV, Rococo, Beaux-Arts, French Empire, Neoclassical-revival, and traditional-eclectic interiors — particularly for design-savvy clients drawn to the European ormolu chandelier tradition.
Features
Cast Brass Throughout
Body, arms, putti figures, and acanthus detail all cast in solid brass — hand-finished for warm gilt-bronze patina depth.
18th-Century Detail
Sculpted cherubs, foliate scrollwork, and acanthus-leaf bobeches reference Louis XV / Rococo court chandeliers.
15-Light Single Tier
Single ring of 15 candle arms — formal-dining and grand-room scale, well-proportioned for 9–14 ft ceilings.
Hand-cast solid brass with hand-finished gilt patina. Each piece is cast, finished, and assembled by hand — subtle variation in brass tone, finishing, and detail depth between pieces is part of the artisanal character. The fixture is solid brass throughout (body, arms, putti, acanthus) and carries appropriate weight for the level of casting and ornamentation.
Reinforced ceiling support recommended. Solid cast-brass chandeliers of this scale and ornamentation typically weigh 30–50 kg (65–110 lbs). For ceiling junction boxes rated below this, your electrician should install a heavy-duty fixture brace or anchor to a structural joist before mounting. Please contact us before ordering for confirmed weight and shipping logistics.

Installation
- Specialist installation strongly recommended. Given the cast-brass weight and ornate detail, this fixture should not be installed by general handymen — engage a chandelier installer or a licensed electrician with experience in heavy traditional fixtures.
- Reinforced ceiling support recommended. A heavy-duty fixture brace is the safest mounting approach; standard residential junction boxes may not be rated for cast-brass chandeliers in the 30–50 kg range. Consult a structural engineer if joist spans are unclear.
- Hanging chain supplied at 50 cm (19.7″); chain length can be adjusted on-site for ceiling height. Custom chain extensions available for tall foyers and stairwells.
- Fits 15 E12 (US) or E14 (EU) candelabra-base bulbs — supply your own warm-white LED candle bulbs at 40W incandescent equivalent each.
- Verify ceiling clearance: minimum 9 ft (2.7 m) for proper proportion, ideally 10–14 ft for formal-dining and grand-foyer placement.
- Indoor only · clean cast-brass detail periodically with a soft dry microfiber cloth; deep ornament should be dusted gently with a soft brush. Avoid liquid sprays and harsh polishes which can affect the gilt patina.

FAQ
What size space is the Eloise designed for? +
At ∅ 37.4″ × H 35.4″ (95 × 90 cm) with 15 lights, the Eloise is well-scaled for formal dining rooms of 18–28 m² seating 8–12, sitting rooms and libraries of 18–28 m², formal living rooms up to 35 m², grand foyers up to 25 m², and luxury hotel suites. Minimum 9 ft (2.7 m) ceilings; ideally 10–14 ft for proper proportion in formal interiors.
What is the design heritage of this style? +
The Eloise references the Louis XV (1715–1774) Rococo court chandelier tradition — French 18th-century court lighting characterized by sculpted putti (cherub figures), foliate scrollwork, acanthus-leaf ornament, and rich ormolu (gilt bronze) finishing. This aesthetic spread from the French royal palaces through European aristocratic estates and remained the dominant grand-chandelier vocabulary into the 19th-century Beaux-Arts revival. The Eloise is a contemporary made-to-order interpretation of that historic vocabulary in solid cast brass — not a reproduction of any specific period piece.
Are the cherubs / putti hand-cast? +
Yes. Each putto figure on the central column is cast individually in solid brass and hand-finished to bring out the sculpted detail — facial features, drapery folds, and limb positioning. The cherub motif was a signature element of Louis XV / Rococo decorative arts (carrying through Renaissance and Baroque traditions before that), and remains a distinguishing detail of estate-grade traditional chandeliers. Subtle variation between figures is part of the hand-finishing character.
Is the chandelier dimmable? +
Yes, with the right bulbs. Each arm takes an E12 (US) or E14 (EU) candelabra-base bulb. Install dimmable LED candle bulbs on a TRIAC wall dimmer and the entire 15-light array dims smoothly together. Warm white 2700K–3000K is essential — daylight (5000K+) will cool the gilt-brass patina and break the period-appropriate ambiance the fixture is designed for.
Do you offer custom finishes or sizing? +
Yes — as a made-to-order workshop, we can adapt finish (antique brass / silver-leaf / patinated gold / custom oxidation), dimensions, and head count for project-specific requirements — particularly important for historic-restoration work and bespoke estate commissions where matched chandelier-and-sconce families are needed across multiple rooms. Custom builds extend lead time; please contact us with your specification at the earliest stage of the project.
Do you offer trade pricing for designers and project quantities? +
Yes. We work with interior designers, architects, hospitality groups, and historic-property restoration firms on specification packets, trade pricing, and project-quantity coordination. For matched chandelier-and-sconce sets, custom voltage variants for international historic restorations (UK BS 110V, etc.), or coordinated finishes across multiple rooms, please contact us with your specification at the earliest stage of the project.
How is the chandelier shipped? +
The fixture ships in custom-built protective crating with the candle arms and ornate detail individually padded for transit. Freight delivery is recommended given the cast-brass weight — please confirm your delivery address has appropriate access (truck approach, doorway clearance) before ordering. On-site assembly and ceiling mounting typically requires a skilled chandelier installer 2–4 hours. We provide installation guidance documentation, but on-site installation is arranged by you.
