Neoclassical Hand-Cut Crystal & Brass 3-Piece Garniture Set with Laurel Wreath Mounts

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative ensembles command a room with the effortless authority of a matched garniture set — and this three-piece composition in hand-cut crystal and polished brass faithfully reproduces the grandeur of late 18th-century Neoclassical table decoration. Inspired by the lavish garnitures de cheminée that graced the mantelpieces and console tables of Louis XVI salons and the great houses of the Directoire era, this set brings the ordered elegance of that golden age into the contemporary luxury interior. The two flanking vases rise to a commanding 46 cm, their trumpet-form silhouettes framing the shallower centerpiece bowl in a balanced tripartite composition that draws the eye inward and upward.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Each piece in this luxury garniture set is constructed from deeply hand-cut crystal, its surface alive with a rich vocabulary of Neoclassical motifs: interlocking diamond crosshatching, radiating fan panels, and fine geometric banding that fractures light into scintillating prismatic reflections. The crystal bodies are cradled and adorned by precision-cast brass mounts finished in a warm, lustrous tone. At the crown of each vase, a sculptural brass laurel wreath — the quintessential emblem of Neoclassical ornament — is tied with a ribbon bow and flanked by delicate foliate branch handles that arc gracefully outward. The pedestal stem of each vase incorporates a faceted crystal orb, adding a jewel-like accent between the body and the base. The bases themselves are masterworks of the brass-caster's art: openwork scrolling acanthus and rocaille forms that provide visual lightness while anchoring the composition with decorative weight. The centerpiece bowl shares the same ornamental language — hand-cut crystal sides rising from a matching brass-mounted stem and openwork base — united by the same central laurel wreath mount.

Dimensions & Details

The two vases stand at 46 cm in height with a 20 cm diameter at the widest point of the rim. The set weighs 4 kg in total, reflecting the substantial quality of the crystal and brass construction. Minimal assembly is required to seat the crystal bodies onto their brass bases. This set is available in multiple brass finish variants to suit your interior palette. As with all fine crystal and brass objects, pieces should be kept away from direct sunlight to preserve the brilliance of the metal finish and the clarity of the crystal.

Handcrafted in Egypt

This garniture set is handcrafted in Egypt by Brass & Wood artisans who combine traditional European brass-casting and crystal-cutting techniques with meticulous hand-finishing. Every mount is individually cast, cleaned, and fitted; every crystal body is inspected for clarity and brilliance before assembly. The result is a luxury decorative set worthy of the finest reception rooms, dining tables, and entrance halls.
