Rococo Cobalt Porcelain & Brass 3-Piece Garniture Set with Hand-Painted Floral Medallions

Design & Inspiration

In the grand salons of eighteenth-century Versailles, a perfectly composed garniture set was the ultimate expression of aristocratic taste — three coordinated porcelain pieces arranged upon a mantelpiece or console table, their cobalt and gold surfaces catching the flicker of candlelight. This three-piece Rococo garniture set, comprising a pair of trumpet-form vases and a wide crescent-shaped centerpiece bowl, faithfully reproduces that tradition in the spirit of the legendary Sèvres manufactory. The deep cobalt ground — saturated and rich — is punctuated by hand-painted oval medallions depicting soft bouquets of roses and wildflowers in blush pinks, lavenders, and creamy whites, set against a luminous ivory reserve. It is a composition that speaks of refinement, romance, and the enduring beauty of the Rococo vision.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Each piece in this luxury garniture set is crafted from fine porcelain, glazed in a deep cobalt blue and embellished with gilded scrollwork, ribbon-and-cartouche framing, and sinuous gold tracery that winds gracefully across the cobalt ground. The brass mounts — cast in the Rococo manner with sweeping acanthus leaf scrolls, asymmetric foliate handles, and ornate pierced gallery bases — are fitted by hand, their warm gold finish creating a luminous contrast against the deep blue porcelain. The centerpiece bowl rests upon a spherical porcelain knop and an elaborate cast-brass footed base, while the flanking vases are elevated on matching brass plinths with acanthus skirts. Every gilded line, every painted petal, is the work of skilled artisan hands.

Dimensions & Details

The pair of flanking vases each measure 20cm in diameter and stand 44cm tall, commanding presence on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or entry console. The crescent centerpiece bowl is proportioned to anchor the arrangement, its wider form balancing the vertical drama of the vases. The total weight of the set is approximately 4kg. Each piece ships carefully packed for safe delivery, with minimal assembly required to attach the brass mounts to the porcelain bodies.
