Baroque Crystal & Metal Tissue Box with Grapevine Appliqué and Scroll Feet

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative objects command a dressing table or console quite like this Baroque-inspired crystal tissue box from Brass & Wood. Drawing from the opulent visual language of 17th- and 18th-century European court interiors, it transforms an everyday essential into an object of genuine decorative consequence. The faceted crystal body catches and refracts light with the same restless energy as a chandelier, while the richly worked metal framework grounds the piece with sculptural weight and authority.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The body is composed of faceted crystal panels — each surface cut to maximize light play and visual depth — set within a cast metal frame finished in a luminous tone of your choice. The perimeter of the base is adorned with a continuous frieze of hand-applied grapevine appliqué: clusters of cast grapes intertwined with trailing leaves, a motif drawn directly from Baroque and Rococo ornamental vocabulary where the vine symbolized abundance and celebration. Four ornate scroll feet elevate the piece with the same elegant flourish found on period console tables and commodes. The hinged lid is crowned by an oval cartouche frame — a quintessentially Baroque device — surrounded by delicate foliate border detailing, providing both a functional tissue aperture and a focal decorative element.
