Baroque Crystal & Brass Bonbonniere Stand - Sculptural Foliate Pedestal with Scroll Handle

Design & Inspiration

Drawing from the grandeur of European Baroque and Rococo traditions, this handcrafted bonbonniere stand is a statement of opulence and artistic mastery. The piece is defined by its dramatic silhouette — a wide, radially ribbed crystal tray that seems to bloom outward, crowned at the center by a faceted crystal finial, and lifted skyward by an elaborate scrolling brass handle. Every curve and flourish speaks to an era when decorative arts were treated as high art, making this bonbonniere as much a sculpture as a serving piece.

Materials & Craftsmanship

This luxury bonbonniere is crafted from two of the most prestigious materials in classical decorative arts: hand-cut crystal and solid handcrafted brass. The sculptural pedestal base is cast in brass with intricate acanthus leaf carvings and four cabriole-style legs that anchor the piece with confident elegance. The crystal tray, with its sunburst ribbing and scalloped edge, is paired seamlessly with a brass connector and a crystal orb at its center. The scrollwork brass handle rises gracefully above, completed with a tight foliate spiral. All brass components are available in multiple finishes, each applied by skilled Egyptian artisans at the Brass & Wood atelier.

Dimensions & Details

This single-tier bonbonniere stand weighs approximately 4 kg, reflecting the solidity and quality of its materials. Its commanding presence makes it ideal for centrepiece placement on dining tables, reception consoles, or salon display surfaces. The piece ships with minimal assembly required — attaching the handle to the tray — and is carefully packaged to protect its fragile crystal components during delivery.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every piece bearing the Brass & Wood name is born in our Egyptian workshop, where master craftsmen blend centuries-old metalworking traditions with meticulous attention to detail. This bonbonniere is no exception — shaped, cast, polished, and assembled entirely by hand.
