Description
Design & Inspiration
Few decorative objects command a room with the quiet authority of a grand crystal vase set upon a gilded throne. This piece draws directly from the visual language of Neoclassical and Louis XVI decorative arts — an era defined by disciplined symmetry, the revival of Greco-Roman ornamental vocabulary, and the masterful pairing of translucent crystal with warm gilt bronze. The trumpet-form body rises with confident verticality, its surface alive with prismatic light refracting through deep-cut diamond and vertical-flute facets, while above, a sculpted collar of draped floral swags and festoons — the defining ornamental motif of the late 18th-century French court — crowns the opening with theatrical refinement.
Materials & Craftsmanship
The vase body is formed from high-clarity hand-cut crystal, worked in the grand tradition of European crystal houses. The lower register features a bold diamond-crosshatch (hobnail-inspired) cut pattern that fragments light into brilliant prismatic dispersions, transitioning upward into precise vertical fluting that draws the eye skyward toward the brass collar. That collar is cast brass, hand-finished, bearing a continuous relief of naturalistic floral garlands and foliate swags suspended from blossom bosses — each element crisp and deeply modelled in the manner of ormolu mounts. The base is cast brass with equal grandeur: a square plinth with recessed-panel mouldings, acanthus-leaf appliqués at the corners, and four boldly scrolled lion's-paw feet anchoring the entire composition. Both brass elements carry a warm polished finish that harmonises with the crystal's brilliance.
Dimensions & Details
Weighing 4 kg, this vase carries the satisfying physical presence of a truly substantial decorative piece. The crystal body separates cleanly from the brass base for transport and cleaning, requiring only minimal assembly upon display. The generous flared opening accommodates fresh or dried floral arrangements, tall branches, or sculptural stems with ease, making it as functional as it is ornamental.
Handcrafted in Egypt
Every piece in the Brass & Wood collection is handcrafted in Egypt by artisans trained in the European classical tradition. The brass components are individually cast, hand-chased, and finished to replicate the depth and detail of authentic 18th-century ormolu work. This vase faithfully reproduces the grandeur of Neoclassical decorative objects found in the great palace interiors of Versailles and the Tuileries, bringing that legacy into the contemporary home. Available in multiple brass finish variants to suit your interior palette, and customisation of finish is available upon request.
