Neoclassical Cut Crystal & Brass Garland Vase and Centerpiece 3-Piece Garniture Set

Design & Inspiration

There is a particular aristocratic authority that only a full garniture set can command upon a mantelpiece or a grand sideboard — and this three-piece Neoclassical cut crystal and brass ensemble captures that authority with rare conviction. Inspired by the great French court garnitures of the Louis XVI and early Empire eras, the set pairs two soaring trumpet-form vases with a wide, shallow centerpiece coupe, each piece elevated upon an elaborate cast-brass base alive with scrolling acanthus leaves and naturalistic floral clusters. Together, they create a visual narrative of symmetry, restraint, and breathtaking decorative ambition.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Each piece in this luxury garniture set is composed of hand-cut crystal bodies, their surfaces enriched with a dense geometric lattice of fine diamond and hobstar cutting that refracts light into prismatic brilliance. The crystal is married to precision-cast brass mounts finished in a warm metallic tone: floral garland swags drape the rim of the centerpiece bowl and the collar of each vase, while boldly cast scroll-form handles — drawn from the classical volute — sweep outward from the vase shoulders. The bases are sculpted compositions of acanthus leaves, daisy rosettes, and C-scroll supports, each detail hand-chased and finished by Egyptian craftsmen trained in the European ormolu tradition. A faceted crystal ball baluster joins base to body on each piece, a signature element of high 18th-century French decorative art.

Dimensions & Details

Each trumpet vase measures 22 cm wide × 19 cm deep × 36 cm tall, creating a commanding vertical presence ideal for framing a centerpiece. The set is sold as a 3-piece garniture: two matching vases and one centerpiece bowl. Combined, the set weighs approximately 4 kg. Minimal assembly is required — the crystal body seats securely onto the brass base without tools. This handcrafted set is available in multiple brass finish variants to suit your interior palette.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Brass & Wood's artisans in Egypt bring decades of accumulated expertise in the European decorative arts tradition to every piece. This garniture set is produced using the same cast-and-chase brass techniques employed by the great Parisian bronziers of the 18th century, combined with precision crystal cutting that honors the legacy of Baccarat and Saint-Louis. Each set undergoes rigorous quality inspection before leaving our workshop, ensuring that every swag, every rosette, and every faceted crystal surface meets the exacting standard of luxury European replica craftsmanship. Customization of brass finish color is available upon request.
