Rococo Crystal Tissue Box with Ornate Brass Acanthus Frame & Scroll Feet

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative objects command a dressing table or salon side table with the quiet authority of a truly exceptional tissue box. This Rococo-inspired crystal and brass tissue box from Brass & Wood draws directly from the vocabulary of 18th-century French court craftsmanship — an era when even the most functional objects were considered worthy of the finest ornamentation. The result is a piece that transforms an everyday necessity into a visual statement of refined taste.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The body is formed from thick, prismatic cut crystal, its faceted surfaces refracting light into brilliant patterns across any surface it rests upon. The crystal sits within a handcrafted brass frame of remarkable intricacy: deeply cast acanthus leaves, rocaille scrolls, and foliate tendrils cascade across all four sides, while four pronounced scroll feet — each terminating in a raised pad — lift the piece with elegant poise. Every element of the brass framework is individually finished by hand, ensuring that the raised relief achieves crisp, shadow-catching depth consistent with the Rococo tradition of exuberant, nature-inspired ornament.

Dimensions & Details

Designed to accommodate standard rectangular tissue boxes, this piece sits at a substantial 4 kg — a reassuring weight that speaks to the generosity of the brass casting and the thickness of the crystal. The proportions balance visual grandeur with practical placement: equally at home on a bedroom vanity, a bathroom ledge, a reception console, or a living room side table. Please refer to the product specifications for detailed dimensions.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every piece bearing the Brass & Wood name is produced in Egypt by artisans trained in classical European metalworking and decorative arts traditions. The brass components are cast, filed, and polished by hand before being assembled around the crystal insert. This commitment to handcraft means that each tissue box carries subtle individuality — a testament to the human hand behind every piece. Available in multiple brass finish variants to complement your interior palette.
