{"product_id":"antdec199-antique","title":"Crystal Candy Dish with Gazelle Cartouche - Antique Brass","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Inspiration\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a moment, standing before certain decorative objects, when you understand that the craftsman was not merely making something functional — they were telling a story. This brass stag chariot does exactly that. A stag caught in full, powerful stride pulls an ornate four-wheeled carriage; a small figural driver sits at the reins, whip raised mid-motion, frozen at the height of the chase. The crystal bowl nestled into the carriage bed glimmers with pressed facets, catching and scattering whatever light the room offers. At 60 cm across, this is a piece designed to hold its own on a console, a dining table centrepiece, or a reception cabinet — a conversation that begins before anyone opens their mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFaithfully reproduced in the tradition of European Baroque and Neoclassical decorative sculpture, this piece is cast and finished in high-quality brass with a polished metallic finish. The stag's coat is rendered with textured realism — individual hairs suggested in the casting, the antlers branching with naturalistic precision. The carriage frame is a composition of scrolled foliate arms, spoked wheels, and floral sprays, each element cast separately and assembled with the care that defines this class of decorative work. The crystal bowl seated in the carriage body is pressed glass with a repeating geometric-floral relief pattern, offering contrast in texture and translucency against the warm metal of the frame. Handcrafted in Egypt by artisans trained in classical European metalwork traditions, this piece weighs 4 kg — substantial enough to feel permanent, yet refined enough to read as delicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWidth: 60 cm | Depth: 19 cm | Height: 23 cm | Weight: 4 kg. The horizontal reach of this piece — 60 cm — is its defining spatial quality. It commands length rather than height, making it ideal for wide console tables, sideboards, or dining table centrepieces where it can be viewed from all angles. The figural driver positioned mid-carriage adds vertical rhythm and human scale to the composition, while the stag's extended forelegs push the silhouette forward with kinetic energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandcrafted in Egypt\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery piece produced by Brass \u0026amp; Wood originates in Egyptian workshops where classical European craft techniques are preserved with genuine commitment. The brass casting, finishing, assembly, and quality inspection of this chariot sculpture are carried out by hand — not by automated production. This is what makes each piece subtly individual, and entirely worth the attention. Available in multiple brass finishes to suit your interior palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials is this piece made from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chariot frame, stag, wheels, and figural driver are cast in solid brass with a polished metallic finish.
