menorah?
This is just a guess; "arche" is the Ark of the Covenant.
There are reference to "the lampstand of the Tabernacle" e.g. at
http://www.lexiline.com/lexiline/bible/lexi000/lexi444/lexi4...
see also Ex. 37:1-23 (you can find the French text at the ref. below).
If I'm completely wrong,please provide more context.

Comment: "Thanks branka and golub as well - golub's comments affirmed branka's educated guess. There is an important Jewish community in the city in question (Essaouira, in Morocco) and I had deduced it to be some kind of symbol of their faith or presence, but did not connect "chandelier" with the menorah. Thanks for the clarification!"

think the person who answered before me was right
there was and there is still an important Jewish community in morocco, the andaluz/jewish/arabic influences are intertwined in the local architecture
