Rococo Crystal & Brass 3-Piece Garniture Set with Flared Trumpet Vases & Footed Centerpiece Bowl
Categories:
Design & Inspiration
There is a particular quality of light that only crystal and gold can conjure — a luminous interplay that has graced the salons of European nobility since the age of Louis XV. This handcrafted 3-piece Rococo garniture set from Brass & Wood captures that very spirit: two soaring flared trumpet vases flanking a grand footed centerpiece bowl, united by lavish gilt-brass mounts that cascade with acanthus leaves, floral festoons, and scrolling rocaille. Set upon an ornamental console, mantel, or dining table, this ensemble commands the room with the confidence of heritage and the brilliance of fine crystal.
Materials & Craftsmanship
Each piece in this luxury garniture set is constructed from hand-cut crystal glass, its surface etched with an intricate geometric lattice of interlocking circles — a technique that captures and refracts light across the room. The crystal body of each trumpet vase rises from a faceted spherical stem to a dramatically flared mouth, while the centerpiece bowl rests on a similarly jewel-like crystal pedestal. Encasing and adorning the crystal at every structural and decorative junction are cast brass mounts, finished in a rich tone of your chosen variant. These mounts are no mere decoration — they are sculptural works in their own right, shaped as flowering branches, swag-and-tassel festoons, rosettes, and spiraling foliate sprays that echo the full vocabulary of Rococo ornament. The base of each piece is a sculptural composition of cast brass foliage, providing visual weight and anchoring the ensemble with baroque grandeur.
Dimensions & Details
The two trumpet vases each measure 42 cm in height and 23 cm in width at the mouth — commanding proportions that give the ensemble its vertical drama. The centerpiece bowl measures 33 cm in height and 34 cm in diameter, its wide shallow bowl ideal for fruit, decorative orbs, or floral arrangements. The entire 3-piece set weighs 4 kg. The ensemble is sold as a coordinated set, and the brass finish is available in your choice of color variant, including Gold, Antique Gold, and Silver, each lending a distinctly different character to the crystal.
