This tissue box does not whisper its intentions. The Napoleon III period (1852–1870) elevated everyday objects to the level of art, dressing them in ornament borrowed freely from Louis XV and the grand decorative tradition of the French court. This piece faithfully reproduces that spirit: a functional object transformed into a statement of refined taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body is formed from richly pigmented emerald green pressed glass, its surface carrying a molded grid pattern that catches light at every angle. The lid features a central oval cartouche in beveled green glass, surrounded by a wreath of cast gilt brass oak leaves — a motif central to French Second Empire decorative vocabulary. The surrounding brass framework is cast and chased, with scrolling acanthus-and-branch handles flanking each side and four elaborate cabriole-inspired feet with leaf-capped knees that lift the box with appropriate grandeur. The brass finish is applied over precisely cast components, resulting in the warm, saturated gold tone characteristic of period ormolu work. Every mount is a discrete piece of metalwork, assembled to encase the glass body with fitted precision. Handcrafted in Egypt by artisans working in the European classical tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWidth: 30 cm \/ Depth: 14 cm \/ Height: 12 cm\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 4 kg\u003cbr\u003eMaterials: Emerald green pressed glass, gilt brass mounts\u003cbr\u003eAssembly: No assembly required\u003cbr\u003eFragile: Handle with care — glass body\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandcrafted in Egypt\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery piece from Brass \u0026amp; Wood is produced in Egypt by skilled craftsmen who have spent years mastering the metalworking and glasswork techniques of the European classical tradition.
