Rococo Ceramic & Brass 3-Piece Garniture Set — Burgundy Floral Urn Vases with Gilded Ormolu Mounts

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative ensembles command a mantelpiece or sideboard quite like a classical garniture set — and this three-piece Rococo composition, with its rich burgundy glaze and cascading gilded brass ormolu, delivers exactly that sense of curated grandeur. Inspired by the great Sèvres and Vienna porcelain garnitures that adorned the salons of eighteenth-century European nobility, this set faithfully interprets that tradition through the lens of Brass & Wood's Egyptian master craftsmen. The deep wine-red ceramic ground — saturated and glossy — catches the light with the quiet authority of aged claret glass, while hand-painted floral bouquet medallions render each piece an individual work of decorative art.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Each piece in this luxury ceramic and brass garniture set is crafted from high-fired ceramic, its surface finished in a deep burgundy glaze that achieves the dense, jewel-like depth characteristic of the finest European decorative porcelain. The hand-painted oval medallions at the body of each vase depict romantic floral arrangements — roses, peonies, and foliage rendered with a painterly sensitivity that recalls the ateliers of Meissen and Sèvres. The gilded brass ormolu mounts — the scrolling acanthus-leaf handles, the egg-and-dart base moldings, the leafy finials crowning the lidded urns — are individually cast and finished, their warm gold tone providing a luminous counterpoint to the richness of the burgundy ground. The centerpiece bowl features a bow-and-swag ormolu mount at the rim, a quintessentially Rococo motif evoking ribbon-tied festoons.

Dimensions & Details

This 3-piece garniture set includes two matching lidded urn vases and one open centerpiece bowl. Each lidded vase measures 20 cm wide × 14 cm deep × 44 cm tall — a commanding height that allows them to anchor a mantelpiece, bookcase, or console table with ease. The set weighs approximately 4 kg per vase, lending a satisfying physical presence. All pieces rest on gilded stepped square bases with egg-and-dart moldings, ensuring visual unity across the ensemble. The set is lightly assemblable — the ormolu handles and lids are positioned during setup — and arrives carefully packed for safe delivery.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Designed and produced at the Brass & Wood atelier in Egypt, this garniture set is the work of artisans trained in the classical European decorative tradition. Every element — from the ceramic casting and glaze application to the brass-work finishing and hand-painting of the floral medallions — is executed by hand, ensuring that no two sets are absolutely identical. The result is a luxury decorative object that carries the warmth of human skill within its form. Available in multiple brass finish variants to suit your interior palette, and customizable on request to align with specific color schemes or sizing requirements.
