Rococo Celadon Ceramic Tissue Box with Ornate Metal Frame & Scroll Feet

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative objects capture the spirit of the Rococo period with such intimacy as this handcrafted tissue box holder. Inspired by the Louis XV tradition of adorning even the most utilitarian objects with exuberant ornamentation, this piece transforms a household essential into a work of art. The soft, mist-like celadon ceramic body — evoking the prized glazes of 18th-century Sèvres porcelain — is enveloped in a richly cast metal framework that commands attention with its restless, asymmetrical energy. Scroll handles extend from each side like open arms, and the base sits upon four generously curved scroll feet that lift the entire composition with aristocratic poise.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The body of this tissue box is formed from high-fired ceramic in a delicate celadon tone — a color long associated with refinement and prestige across both European and Eastern traditions. The surrounding architectural framework is cast from metal and finished in your chosen metallic tone, exhibiting the hallmarks of Rococo decorative metalwork: an elaborate rocaille cartouche at the front face, formed from intertwined acanthus leaves, C-scrolls, and foliate swags; a matching oval aperture surround atop the lid framed in scrolling foliage; and flamboyant side handles with layered organic relief. Every cast element is hand-finished, with crisp high-relief details that catch light from multiple angles, lending the surface an almost three-dimensional sculptural quality.

Dimensions & Details

Designed to accommodate a standard rectangular tissue box, this holder is proportioned to sit gracefully on a dressing table, side table, console, or executive desk without overwhelming the surrounding space. The elevated scroll feet ensure the piece has visual lift, while the overall silhouette reads as a self-contained decorative composition even when empty. The lid fits securely over the ceramic body, and the oval opening is sized to allow smooth tissue dispensing while maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the design.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every piece in the Brass & Wood collection is conceived, cast, and finished entirely by hand in Egypt, drawing on generations of craft tradition. Our artisans apply the same rigor to this tissue box that a 18th-century Parisian bronzier would have brought to a gilded mantel clock — believing that no object in a refined home should be without beauty. Available in multiple metallic finishes to complement your existing décor, this tissue box holder is a signature Brass & Wood accent piece that rewards close inspection.
