Art Nouveau Brass & Etched Glass Pedestal Candy Dish - Scrollwork Figural Stand

Design & Inspiration

Inspired by the sweeping elegance of the Art Nouveau movement, this handcrafted pedestal candy dish captures the organic beauty of a bygone era. The design features a wide, shallow etched-glass bowl cradled within a richly detailed brass frame adorned with flowing foliage motifs, figural heads, and graceful swan-neck handles. The openwork scrollwork base rises on three arching legs that curl organically into a petal-form foot, evoking the sinuous lines that define Art Nouveau classicism. Every curve tells a story of mastery, making this piece as much a work of art as a functional accent for your table.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Each piece is meticulously produced by skilled Egyptian artisans at the Brass & Wood workshop. The bowl is crafted from high-clarity glass featuring an intricate all-over etched pattern that catches and refracts light beautifully. The structural frame, rim, and pedestal are cast and hand-finished in premium brass, showcasing relief botanical carvings and three-dimensional figural accents. The result is a harmonious fusion of brass and glass that feels both weightily luxurious and visually airy. Weighing approximately 4 kg, it is substantial and stable while remaining an unmistakable statement piece.

Dimensions & Details

This luxury pedestal candy dish is a generously sized centerpiece designed to command attention on a dining table, sideboard, or reception console. While exact dimensions are tailored per production run, the broad proportions of the bowl and the elevated pedestal base ensure prominent display presence.
