Rococo Brass & Ceramic Lidded Urn Vase Set with Pedestal Bowl - Forest Green Medallion
Categories:
Design & Inspiration
Conceived in the exuberant spirit of the European Rococo tradition — that gilded, playful age of Louis XV — this three-piece decorative set commands every surface it graces. The deep forest-green ceramic bodies, richly wrapped in hand-painted scrolling acanthus arabesques and oval cartouche medallions depicting pastoral landscapes, carry the visual weight of cabinet pieces once displayed in the grand salons of Versailles. Where porcelain met palace, this set faithfully reproduces the layered opulence that defined eighteenth-century European decorative arts.
Materials & Craftsmanship
Each piece is constructed from high-fired ceramic finished in a commanding hunter-green glaze, then hand-adorned with gilt acanthus scrollwork and framed oval reserves painted with landscape and floral scenes — a technique echoing the celebrated Sèvres and Meissen traditions. The structural mounts — scrolled double handles on the urns, the four-footed pierced plinth bases, and the artichoke finials atop each lid — are cast in solid brass and finished to a lustrous gold tone. The pedestal bowl's wide shallow form rises on a baluster stem seated in an equally elaborate four-footed brass base, its interior burnished to a warm amber gold. Every joint and mount is hand-fitted, reflecting a level of bespoke craftsmanship that sets this set apart from mass-produced decorative ware.
Dimensions & Details
The two lidded urns each measure 46 cm in height × 22 cm in width, providing commanding vertical presence. The central pedestal bowl measures 21 cm in height × 34 cm in width × 17 cm in depth, offering generous display capacity for fruits, florals, or potpourri. Together, the set weighs approximately 4 kg. The three-piece arrangement is designed to be displayed as a symmetrical garniture — urns flanking the central bowl — a classical presentation known in European decorative arts as a garniture de cheminée.
Handcrafted in Egypt
Produced in the workshops of Brass & Wood, Egypt's premier classical European furniture and décor replica atelier, this set is the work of artisans trained in traditional hand-painting, brass casting, and ceramic glazing. Egypt's deep heritage of decorative metalwork and fine craftsmanship informs every piece we produce. Each set is individually finished, meaning subtle variations in the hand-painted medallions are a mark of authenticity — not imperfection. Customization in brass finish is available across Gold, Antique Gold, and Silver variants.
