Rococo Crystal Tissue Box with Sculpted Floral Metal Frame & Scroll Feet

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative objects command a surface with such quiet authority as this Rococo crystal tissue box. Inspired by the opulent parlor culture of eighteenth-century France — where every object on a lady's dressing table was a miniature work of art — this piece translates the exuberance of the Rococo period into a functional yet profoundly decorative form. The faceted crystal body catches and refracts ambient light in the manner of fine cut glass, while the metal frame that encases it tells a story of blossoms, scrollwork, and restrained grandeur. This is not merely a tissue holder; it is a conversation piece, a statement of taste.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The body is formed from faceted crystal, its surface worked with geometric panels and diamond-cut hatching that create a play of light and shadow across every angle. The metal framework — cast and hand-finished by skilled artisans at Brass & Wood's Egyptian atelier — wraps the crystal in sculpted floral garlands: open roses, curling leaves, and naturalistic blooms arranged with the asymmetric grace that defines Rococo ornamentation. A prominent oval cartouche adorns the lid opening, flanked by delicate floral sprays, while four cast scroll feet — each terminating in a crisp acanthus-leaf sabots — elevate the box with a sense of classical poise. The finish, available in multiple metallic tones, is hand-polished to a lustrous sheen that complements the crystal's natural brilliance.

Dimensions & Details

Designed to accommodate a standard tissue box with ease, this piece carries a substantial weight of 4 kg — a testament to the density and quality of the crystal and the solid cast metal framework. Its proportions are generous enough to anchor a side table, vanity, or reception desk without appearing excessive. Every joint between crystal panel and metal mount is precisely fitted, ensuring structural integrity across years of daily use.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every piece bearing the Brass & Wood name is handcrafted in Egypt by artisans who have devoted their careers to the faithful reproduction of European decorative traditions. The floral metalwork is individually cast, hand-filed, and polished before being assembled around the crystal body — a process that cannot be replicated by industrial manufacture. Brass & Wood's commitment to quality means each tissue box is inspected before dispatch, ensuring the piece that arrives at your home meets the exacting standards our clients expect. As a configurable product, this tissue box is available in multiple metallic finishes, allowing you to match the frame tone to your existing interior scheme.
