Sèvres-Style Porcelain & Brass Garniture Set - Hand-Painted Scenic Landscape Urns with Tazza

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative traditions in European history rival the magnificence of the French porcelain garniture — and this exquisite 3-piece set faithfully reproduces the grandeur of Sèvres-inspired manufacture at the height of the Second Empire. Composed of two covered urns and a central tazza, the ensemble commands attention on any mantelpiece, console, or reception credenza. The soft ivory ground of each piece serves as a canvas for richly painted romantic landscapes: windmills set against pale skies, gallant figures in pastoral settings, and distant châteaux rendered in the muted blue-and-earth tones synonymous with the finest French porcelain tradition.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Each piece in this luxury handcrafted garniture set is formed from fine white porcelain, its surface adorned with polychrome hand-painted scenic panels in the manner of 19th-century Sèvres ateliers. The painted vignettes are framed by bands of gilded detailing that transition seamlessly into cast-brass ormolu mounts — scrolled, acanthus-cast handles on the urns; elaborate acanthus-and-scroll foot bases on the tazza; and richly chased finials crowning each lid. The brass components are finished to an opulent gleam, recalling the ormolu traditions of Second Empire bronziers. This combination of porcelain and brass is a hallmark of the finest European decorative arts, and Brass & Wood's Egyptian master craftsmen honor this tradition with practiced precision.

Dimensions & Details

The two covered urns each measure 46 cm in height × 22 cm in width, their elegant elongated silhouettes — baluster bodies tapering to trumpet necks and domed lids — providing vertical drama. The central tazza measures 21 cm in height × 34 cm in width × 17 cm in depth, its broad shallow bowl raised on a turned column and set upon an acanthus-cast brass base, providing horizontal counterpoint. Together, the three pieces create a perfectly proportioned classical arrangement that animates the largest of reception rooms. Combined weight: 4 kg. The set is presented in protective packaging suitable for gifting.

Handcrafted in Egypt

This garniture set is produced in Egypt by Brass & Wood's team of skilled artisans, trained in both European classical decorative techniques and traditional Egyptian craftsmanship. Each piece is individually formed, painted, and fitted — no two sets are precisely identical, lending every garniture an irreplaceable handmade character. From the hand-applied painted landscapes to the hand-fitted brass mounts, each stage reflects a commitment to luxury that mass production cannot replicate. Available in multiple brass finish variants to suit your interior palette.
