Rococo Crystal Tissue Box with Acanthus Metal Corner Mounts

Design & Inspiration

Few everyday objects carry the power to transform a room quite like a finely crafted tissue box. This Rococo Crystal Tissue Box, faithfully inspired by the exuberant decorative vocabulary of 18th-century French Rococo interiors, brings an unmistakable air of refinement to the dressing table, bedside console, or salon side table. The transparent crystal body catches and refracts ambient light in ever-shifting patterns, while the crisp embossed geometric and floral cartouche panels recall the plasterwork ceilings of Versailles' grandest apartments. This is not merely a functional object — it is a statement of taste.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The body of the tissue box is formed from high-clarity crystal, its panels pressed with a repeating grid of ornamental reliefs — delicate rosette medallions and interlocking floral motifs that are hallmarks of the Louis XV period. Each corner is secured and adorned with a cast metal acanthus-leaf mount, a motif deeply rooted in classical antiquity and revived with playful elegance during the Rococo era. The base rests on four scroll-form metal feet, each cast with naturalistic foliate detail that echoes the corner mounts, creating a unified decorative programme. The metal hardware is available in a choice of finishes to complement any interior palette.

Dimensions & Details

Designed to accommodate standard tissue boxes, this piece strikes the ideal balance between practical proportion and decorative presence. The visual weight of the embossed crystal panels is counterbalanced by the airiness of the transparent material, ensuring the piece adds grandeur without heaviness. Weighing 4 kg, the substantial feel in hand communicates quality craftsmanship and material integrity at a glance.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every piece in the Brass & Wood collection is produced in Egypt by skilled artisans who combine generations of craft tradition with meticulous attention to European decorative standards. The metal mounts are individually cast, finished, and hand-fitted to each crystal body, ensuring that no two pieces are entirely identical. This handcrafted approach, combined with premium materials, places this tissue box firmly in the tradition of the finest European decorative accessories — brought to life in the heart of Egypt and delivered to discerning homes worldwide.
