No. Aristocrats were officially appointed by the King in their offices and their powers were often described and limited by law. They were powerful mostly until the late 19th and early 20th century, when the majority of the population in most countries got the right to vote. So they did not 'take away' power from anyone. They exercised it in an age when the common people did not yet have political rights.

Why did the ancient city-srates of Athens and Sparta develop different political systems?
Sparta had a limited democracy which suited their needs. Athens had a dominant aristocracy which they overthrew and established a dictator (tyrant) to keep the aristocrats under control. When the Athenians tired of the tyrant, they replaced him with a limited democracy, the aristocrats took power again to resist the Persian invasion, and the people then replaced them with a democracy again led by Ephialtes, whom the aristocrats assassinated. His deputy Pericles took over and experimented with a radical democracy. This resulted in their leader leading them astray, and their defeat in the Peloponnesian War. They reverted to a limited democracy similar to the Spartan one.
