Rococo Sèvres-Style Ceramic & Brass Garniture Set - Burgundy Floral Medallion

Design & Inspiration

There is a quiet authority that only the finest European decorative porcelain can command — a presence felt the moment it enters a room. This three-piece garniture set, faithfully inspired by the celebrated tradition of Sèvres porcelain and the ornamental vocabulary of 18th-century French Rococo, brings that authority into the modern home. The deep claret-burgundy ground, enriched with gilded cartouche borders and soft hand-painted floral medallions, evokes the opulent mantelpiece arrangements that once graced the salons of Versailles and the châteaux of the French aristocracy.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Each piece in this luxury garniture set is crafted from high-fired ceramic, its surface dressed in a rich burgundy glaze that deepens toward the body and transitions to luminous champagne-toned reserves. The floral medallions — painted bouquets of roses and seasonal blooms suspended on a warm bisque ground — are framed by chased ormolu-effect brass mounts that cascade from the necks and scroll outward in signature Rococo acanthus and C-scroll flourishes. The brass finials, handles, and stepped square plinths are cast with exceptional detail, finished to a warm gilded tone that complements the ceramic's jewel-like glaze. Each component is assembled by hand, with brass mounts fitted precisely to the ceramic bodies — a testament to the meticulous craft tradition upheld at Brass & Wood's Egyptian atelier.

Dimensions & Details

The set comprises two tall lidded urns and one open centrepiece bowl. The vases measure 17 cm wide × 10 cm deep × 47 cm tall, achieving a commanding vertical presence ideal for symmetrical mantelpiece or console arrangements. The centrepiece bowl, mounted on a pedestal foot and dressed with a prominent gilded figural grape-and-vine appliqué at the centre front, provides a visual anchor for the composition. Total set weight is approximately 4 kg. The graduated heights create classic garniture rhythm — a composition principle perfected by Sèvres and Meissen in the 1740s–1760s.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every piece in this collection is handcrafted in Egypt by skilled artisans who have inherited and refined generations of decorative craft technique. At Brass & Wood, we believe that luxury is not mass-produced — it is built piece by piece, detail by detail, by hands that understand the language of classical European ornament. This garniture set is produced to order, allowing for customization of brass finish and ceramic tone to suit your interior scheme. It arrives carefully packed for safe delivery, ready to take its rightful place as the centrepiece of your most distinguished room.
