Saint-Louis Arlequin 5-Candle Candelabra, Black, Clear Satin-Finished, Flannel Gray

The Saint-Louis Arlequin 5-Candle Candelabra in Black, Clear Satin-Finished, and Flannel Gray brings Five twisted hollow flannel grey crystal arms together with crystal bowls, diamond-cut cones, and facet-cut crystal octagon cups. At nearly 30 inches tall and 19 inches in diameter, the five-arm scale gives it a substantial presence even in its most understated colorway. The five-candle format in the restrained black and clear satin palette creates a larger architectural presence without the chromatic intensity of the other Arlequin configurations — the most quietly confident piece in the collection. The candelabra works equally well as a table centerpiece for a formal dinner or as a standalone decorative object on a console or sideboard, and it is available in both candle and electric configurations.

Each Arlequin candelabra is assembled from multiple individually mouth-blown and hand-cut crystal elements at the Cristallerie Saint-Louis in Lorraine. The twisted hollow flannel grey arms are formed by hand, the crystal bowls are diamond-cut, and the clear cones and cups are finished with facet-cut crystal octagons, each component produced separately before the candelabra is assembled. The colored crystal elements are achieved through Saint-Louis’s masse coloring technique, in which metallic oxides are introduced during the melt to produce the deep, consistent hues that give Arlequin its chromatic richness.

The Arlequin collection is a lighthearted and colorful update of Saint-Louis’s timeless Classique line, the maison’s celebrated family of chandeliers and candelabra whose opulence — lavish variety of shapes, forms, and cuts — has defined crystal lighting at the highest level for generations. Arlequin takes that classical foundation and introduces a fantastical twist: colored crystal elements in bold combinations from the Saint-Louis palette, set against the collection’s signature twisted flannel grey arms. The result is a decorative mode that is at once refined and mischievous, serious about craft and playful about color. Saint-Louis has been producing crystal chandeliers and candelabra since the mid-19th century, and Arlequin represents that living tradition at its most expressive. Established in 1586, Saint-Louis stands as Europe’s oldest crystal manufacturer, holding the title of Royal Cristallerie since 1781.
