Rococo Brass & Ceramic Tissue Box - Navy Blue Floral Wreath Lid

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative objects command a dressing table or reception console quite like a tissue box that refuses to be ordinary. This Rococo-inspired handcrafted tissue box from Brass & Wood draws on the rich visual language of eighteenth-century European court decoration — a world where even the most functional object was an occasion for artistry. The deep cobalt-navy ceramic body glows with a lacquer-like gloss, its cool midnight tone offset dramatically by the warm cast-brass framework that wraps, holds, and adorns it on every face.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The body is formed from high-fired ceramic in a rich navy blue glaze, providing both visual depth and robust durability. The architectural framework — feet, side handles, perimeter border, and lid mount — is precision cast in brass with a bright plated finish. The lid is crowned with a sculptural floral-and-leaf wreath motif, rendered with remarkable botanical fidelity: petals with gently turned edges, veined leaves, and a naturalistic branching composition that characterises the finest Rococo decorative metalwork. The lower perimeter of the box carries a continuous pierced lace-scroll frieze, and the four cabriole-form feet feature foliate scroll terminals — details that anchor the piece firmly within the Rococo vocabulary of organic, asymmetric ornamentation.

Dimensions & Details

Designed to accommodate a standard rectangular tissue refill, this box is appropriately scaled for a bedside table, vanity, home office desk, or reception console. Its weight of 4 kg provides a reassuring solidity. The piece is available in multiple brass finish variants — Silver, Gold, and Antique Gold — each imparting a different character to the navy ceramic body: the silver finish is crisp and contemporary-classical; gold is warmer and more opulent; antique gold lends a patinated, heirloom quality. All variants are produced by Brass & Wood's artisans in Egypt.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every piece bearing the Brass & Wood name is the result of skilled hand-finishing by Egyptian craftspeople working in the tradition of classical European decorative arts. The plated brass elements are hand-polished and assembled individually onto the ceramic body. No two pieces are precisely identical — minor variations in the cast floral motif and the ceramic glaze depth are the hallmarks of genuine handcraft. This tissue box is not merely a functional object; it is a considered decorative statement, crafted to bring the grandeur of European Rococo design into the modern home.
