Rococo Porcelain Vase & Centrepiece Set – Hand-Painted Floral Bouquet on Ornate Brass Pedestal

Design & Inspiration

Few objects command a room with the quiet authority of a matched porcelain garniture. This 3-piece Rococo-inspired set — comprising two trumpet-form vases and an elliptical centrepiece bowl — draws directly from the grand tradition of eighteenth-century French manufacture, where porcelain and gilded bronze were united to create objects of breathtaking refinement. Each piece carries a hand-painted floral bouquet medallion set within a lattice of gilded scrollwork arabesques, evoking the lightness and sensuous elegance that define the Louis XV aesthetic. The set transforms any surface it inhabits — a console table, a dining room sideboard, or a reception mantelpiece — into a curated tableau of European grandeur.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Each piece in this set is formed from fine white porcelain, its surface ivory-smooth and luminous, providing the ideal canvas for the hand-painted floral compositions at its heart. Roses, peonies, and delicate blossoms are rendered in soft pinks, mauves, and greens — a palette entirely faithful to eighteenth-century Sèvres and Meissen traditions. The gilded brass mounts and pedestals are cast using the lost-wax method, then hand-chased and finished to achieve the intricate acanthus-leaf scrollwork and rocaille flourishes that characterise these bases. The trumpet vases rest on cylindrical porcelain collars before meeting their elaborately pierced brass pedestals, while the centrepiece bowl is cradled by twin scroll-form brass handles and elevated on a matching openwork base. Every brass element is finished with a rich gilding, warming the ivory porcelain with contrasting brilliance.

Dimensions & Details

The centrepiece bowl measures approximately 40 cm in width and 35 cm in height, making it a commanding focal point on any table or console. The two flanking trumpet vases are proportioned to complement the central piece, creating a balanced and harmonious garniture arrangement. The total set weight is 4 kg, reflecting the substantial quality of both the porcelain bodies and the solid brass castings. The scalloped rims of both vase and bowl echo the shell and wave motifs beloved of Rococo designers, while the gilded lattice reserves frame each floral medallion with the precision of a miniature painting.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Every set is produced in Egypt by artisans who have devoted years to mastering the intersection of classical European decorative arts and traditional craft technique. At Brass & Wood, we believe that luxury is not defined by origin alone, but by the hours of skilled labour, the quality of materials, and the fidelity with which a design honours its historical source. This garniture set faithfully reproduces the spirit of eighteenth-century French porcelain manufacture — the kind of object found on the mantelpieces of the Palace of Versailles or the grand salons of aristocratic Europe — and brings it into the contemporary home with full integrity. Each set is carefully packed to ensure safe delivery, and we invite you to enquire about customisation of brass finish or porcelain colour to suit your interior.
