Baroque Crystal Trumpet Vase with Acanthus Brass Mounts & Floral Crown Rim

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative objects command a room with the sovereign authority of a classically conceived crystal vase. This trumpet-form centrepiece draws its DNA directly from the grand cabinet rooms of Baroque Europe — those gilded salons where crystal caught candlelight and cast a thousand prismatic sparks across the ceiling. The flared chalice body rises from a spherical crystal knop above a domed base, each transition marked by richly worked brass mounts that transform structure into sculpture. At 42 cm tall with a 23 cm crown width, this piece has the visual weight to anchor a dining table, console, or reception hall mantelpiece with effortless authority.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The body is formed from hand-pressed crystal glass, its surface alive with an all-over relief pattern of arched medallion cartouches and diamond crosshatch — a decorative vocabulary lifted directly from 18th-century Bohemian and French crystal traditions. The brass hardware is cast and hand-finished: acanthus leaf appliqués climb the sides of the cup in three-dimensional relief, recalling the carved architectural ornament of the Louis XIV period. The floral crown rim is a tour de force of the founder's art — swags of cast flowers and foliage draped in generous festoons around the mouth, each petal and leaf individually chased. The domed base bristles with symmetrical foliate clusters that anchor the composition with baroque exuberance. All brass elements are available in multiple finishes to suit your interior palette.

Dimensions & Details

Standing at 42 cm in height with a 23 cm diameter at the crown, this vase is scaled for maximum presence without overwhelming a surface. Weight: 4 kg — substantial enough to feel permanent and precious. The trumpet silhouette broadens generously from the waist, creating the optical illusion of upward movement, while the weighted spherical base provides visual stability. The piece ships in specialist protective packaging and requires minimal assembly of its base components.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every piece leaving the Brass & Wood atelier in Egypt is a product of skilled hands and unhurried craft. Our brass founders use traditional lost-wax adjacent casting and hand-chasing techniques to achieve the depth of relief and crispness of detail that mass production cannot replicate. The crystal bodies are individually inspected for clarity and pattern registration. This vase faithfully reproduces the opulent spirit of Baroque European decorative arts — bringing the grandeur of a Versailles antechamber into the contemporary luxury interior. Customisation of the brass finish is available; please contact our team.
