Rococo Crystal & Metal Tissue Box - Floral Swag & Scroll Frame
Categories:
Design & Inspiration
Inspired by the exuberant opulence of 18th-century Rococo court interiors, this handcrafted tissue box transforms a functional household object into a sculptural accent worthy of a royal dressing table. The composition balances the brilliant clarity of faceted crystal panels with the visual drama of heavily cast metal ornament — a pairing that echoes the spirit of Louis XV cabinetmakers who refused to separate beauty from utility.
Materials & Craftsmanship
The body is constructed from thick, brilliantly cut crystal glass whose geometric facets catch and scatter ambient light across the room. The surrounding metal framework — finished in your choice of tone — is cast and hand-chased with characteristic Rococo vocabulary: swag festoons of floral garlands drape across the front apron, flanked by foliate scrollwork that rises organically toward corner posts topped with delicate loop handles. Four shaped bracket feet anchor the composition, each cast with acanthus leaf detailing. The hinged lid carries a central cartouche mount encircled by a wreath of cast flowers, rendered in relief with a jeweller's precision.
Dimensions & Details
This tissue box holder is designed to accommodate standard rectangular tissue boxes. The substantial weight of 4 kg speaks to the density and quality of both the crystal body and the solid metal casting — this is not a lightweight decorative piece, but a genuinely heirloom-quality object. No assembly is required; it arrives fully finished and ready to display.
Handcrafted in Egypt
Every piece in the Brass & Wood classical collection is produced by skilled Egyptian artisans who carry forward centuries of metalworking and decorative arts tradition. The intricate casting, hand-finishing, and polishing of each ornamental detail reflects a commitment to quality that mass production cannot replicate. Available in Silver, Gold, and Antique Gold finishes to complement your existing interior palette — customization enquiries are warmly welcomed.
