Rococo Crystal & Brass 3-Piece Garniture Set with Scrolled Acanthus Mounts

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative ensembles command a room with the authority of a classical garniture — the trio arrangement born in the great salons of eighteenth-century Europe, where symmetry and splendor were the language of prestige. This three-piece set faithfully reproduces the exuberant spirit of Rococo design, a style that swept the courts of France and beyond between 1730 and 1770, dissolving the rigid grandeur of Baroque into a world of playful curves, cascading foliage, and shimmering light. Placed upon a sideboard, console, or dining table, this ensemble transforms any surface into a stage for extraordinary craftsmanship.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Each of the three pieces is composed of two masterfully united elements: hand-cut crystal bodies alive with geometric and floral engraving, and richly cast brass armatures finished in your choice of metallic patina. The centrepiece — a low coupe form — rests on a spherical crystal orb, itself set within an openwork brass base of scrolling acanthus leaves and rocaille flourishes. Its two scrolled arms sweep outward in symmetrical C-scrolls, meeting at a central cartouche of cast roses and leafwork, embodying the Rococo fondness for nature rendered in gilt metal. The two flanking trumpet vases rise from matching spherical crystal bases and openwork brass pedestals, their bodies engraved with sunburst medallions and interlocking strapwork, encircled at mid-height by cascading brass swags of roses and foliage — ormolu-style mounts that mirror the decorative language of the great French bronziers. All brass components are cast using lost-wax technique for crisp, high-relief detail, then hand-finished and polished to a luminous sheen.

Dimensions & Details

This set is sold as a complete 3-piece garniture comprising one central coupe and two matching trumpet vases. The total weight of the set is approximately 4 kg. As with all Brass & Wood decorative pieces, precise dimensions can be confirmed upon inquiry. The crystal components are hand-cut and will exhibit the subtle individuality of artisanal production — no two sets are perfectly identical, which is a hallmark of genuine handcraft rather than a flaw.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every piece in this garniture is handcrafted in Egypt by artisans who carry forward a tradition of metalwork and glasscraft that stretches back centuries. At Brass & Wood, we believe that luxury is not merely a matter of materials, but of the human hours invested in shaping them. Our craftsmen cast, engrave, and finish each component by hand, ensuring that every garniture that leaves our workshop meets the standard of a collector's piece. This set is available in multiple brass finishes — Gold, Antique Gold, and Silver — allowing it to be tailored to your interior's palette. Custom sizing and finish combinations are available upon request.
