Rising from a heavily gadrooned circular brass base, the vessel builds upward in a graceful ovoid silhouette of vertically ribbed crystal, crowned by a faceted crystal finial atop a gilded brass pine-cone mount. The visual weight is extraordinary: every surface participates in a choreography of light, reflection, and gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body is formed from hand-cut, vertically channelled crystal whose fluted facets catch and scatter light across the room. Encircling the crystal are cast brass mounts finished in a warm golden patina: an egg-and-dart collar at the shoulder, swag-and-tassel festoons draped across the belly, and an elaborately scrolled pair of handles that unfurl in grand acanthus-leaf volutes on either side. Each handle terminates in a tight scroll echoing the Rococo's love of organic, asymmetric movement. The circular base is embossed with repeating gadroon ornament and ringed with foliate appliqués — every detail cast and hand-chased to crisp definition. The lid, also in ribbed crystal, is surmounted by the signature artichoke-and-pine-cone finial in gilded brass, completing the urn's ceremonial silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeighing approximately 4 kg, this urn carries the satisfying heft of quality materials. The brass elements are finished in your choice of color variant — Gold, Silver, or Antique Gold — allowing the piece to coordinate with a wide range of interior palettes, from warm neoclassical gilt schemes to cooler, more contemporary silver-toned rooms. The crystal body is clear and highly refractive, amplifying the brilliance of the metalwork surrounding it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandcrafted in Egypt\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery element of this urn is produced in Egypt by Brass \u0026amp; Wood artisans who carry forward a tradition of metalwork and crystal craft rooted in the classical European aesthetic. The brass components are individually cast, hand-filed, and polished before assembly; the crystal sections are precision-cut to ensure the ribbed channels align seamlessly with the brass collars. The result is a luxury decorative object that rewards close inspection — each scroll, each leaf, each facet a testament to the hours of skilled handwork invested in its creation. Whether placed on a console table in a formal reception, displayed on a mantelpiece in a grand salon, or elevated on a sideboard in a dining room, this urn transforms its surroundings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials is this urn made from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body and lid are crafted from high-quality clear crystal with hand-cut vertical ribbing.
