Rococo Brass & Crystal 3-Piece Clock Garniture Set with Rose Scroll Filigree

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative objects command a mantelpiece or console with the authority of a complete clock garniture set. This three-piece Rococo ensemble — a centre clock flanked by a pair of matching crystal and brass stands — channels the exuberant spirit of eighteenth-century French decorative arts, where every surface was an invitation for ornament and every object a declaration of refined taste. Inspired by the ateliers of Louis XV-era Paris, this garniture set brings the grandeur of pre-Revolutionary France into the contemporary luxury home.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Each piece in this handcrafted set is constructed around a hand-etched crystal column body, its surface alive with delicate floral and foliate engravings that catch and scatter light with extraordinary clarity. Encasing the crystal, the brass framework is cast and hand-finished in richly worked scrolling acanthus filigree, with three-dimensional rose blooms and curling stem appliqués rising from a central axis — a motif that speaks directly to the rocaille vocabulary of the Rococo period. The stepped square base is cast in solid brass with gadroon-edge moulding and robust scroll-and-pad feet providing visual and physical stability. The centre clock piece crowns its column with an elaborately pierced brass cartouche housing a dial of classical proportions, driven by a silent quartz movement for modern practicality without sacrificing aesthetic authenticity. The candelabra stands are topped with deeply cut crystal bowl forms, their lace-like rims capturing light at every angle.

Dimensions & Details

This 3-piece garniture set weighs 4 kg. The set is designed for placement on a mantelpiece, credenza, console table, or reception sideboard where the trio can be appreciated as a unified decorative composition. The warm brass finish is available in multiple colour variants to suit your interior palette. Each piece ships carefully packaged given its fragile crystal and intricate brass components.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every piece in this garniture set is handcrafted in Egypt by artisans at Brass & Wood who combine traditional European metalworking and glass-cutting techniques with generations of accumulated craft knowledge. The brass components are individually cast, chased, and polished; the crystal columns are hand-etched; and the complete assemblies are hand-fitted to ensure consistent alignment across the trio. This is not mass-produced décor — it is a considered object made with deliberate skill and intended to be passed down. Brass & Wood offers customisation of brass finish colour to ensure the set integrates seamlessly with your existing interior scheme.
