{"product_id":"belle-epoque-emerald-glass-tissue-box-with-gilt-foliate-brass-mounts","title":"Belle Époque Emerald Glass Tissue Box with Gilt Foliate Brass Mounts","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Inspiration\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet this piece on a dressing table or reception console and the room shifts register immediately. The deep emerald glass — pressed into a fine all-over diamond and floral lattice — absorbs and refracts light in equal measure, while the richly cast gilt-brass mounts wrap the body like jewelry. This is not a tissue box that hides in a corner; it is a deliberate statement of taste, drawing from the ornamental vocabulary of late 19th-century Parisian salon culture. The Belle Époque designers understood that even the most functional object deserved the full weight of decorative attention — and this piece faithfully reproduces that conviction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body is formed from deep emerald pressed glass, its surface animated by a raised diamond-and-floral lattice pattern that catches light at every angle. The gilt-brass framework is cast in separate sections — a scrolled foliate front mount centered with a bold ribbon-and-torch cartouche, corner posts terminating in acanthus-leaf capitals, and four claw-and-ball feet that lift the piece with aristocratic composure. The lid carries a central oval cartouche framed in cast gilt foliage, and the handles on each short end are modeled as naturalistic leafy branches — a hallmark of Belle Époque decorative metalwork. Every mount is finished by hand, the gilding polished to a warm, deep gold that complements rather than overpowers the emerald ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeight: 4 kg.
