Rococo Ceramic Tissue Box with Blue Floral Motif & Metal Scrolled Feet
Categories:
Design & Inspiration
Where functional elegance meets European grandeur — this handcrafted ceramic tissue box draws its character from the opulent Rococo tradition of 18th-century France. The sweeping blue floral motifs cascading across a creamy white ground evoke the spirit of Delftware and early European porcelain, reimagined with a sculptural vitality that commands attention on any surface it graces. This is not merely a tissue holder; it is a curated decorative object that speaks to a cultivated appreciation for classical European aesthetics.
Materials & Craftsmanship
Crafted from high-quality ceramic, the body of this tissue box is hand-decorated with flowing peony, rose, and botanical branch motifs rendered in rich cobalt blue against an ivory-white ground — a color palette that recalls the golden age of Chinese export porcelain as it was interpreted by European masters. The metal framework — comprising four elaborate scroll feet, a decorative beaded surround at the opening, and a delicate butterfly-and-leaf handle — is precision-cast and finished in your choice of metallic tones. The undulating apron of the base adds a characteristic Rococo bombé quality, giving the piece a sculptural three-dimensionality rarely seen in decorative accessories.
Dimensions & Details
Weighing 4 kg, this tissue box carries a satisfying solidity that conveys genuine quality. The substantial weight reflects the density of the ceramic body and the precision metal hardware. The opening is generously sized for standard tissue refills, while the scroll feet elevate the piece slightly, casting subtle decorative shadows on the surface beneath. Each piece is individually inspected to ensure the hand-painted florals and metal detailing meet the exacting standards of Brass & Wood.
Handcrafted in Egypt
Every piece is produced in Egypt by artisans trained in the European classical tradition, honoring centuries of decorative craft. At Brass & Wood, we believe that everyday objects deserve the same devotion to beauty that once defined the great European courts. This tissue box is available in multiple metal finish variants — each transforming the overall character of the piece — making it a versatile statement accessory for living rooms, bedrooms, hotel receptions, and executive offices alike.
