Rococo Sèvres-Style Porcelain & Gilt Brass 3-Piece Garniture Set — Floral Medallion Urns & Display Plate

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative ensembles command a mantelpiece or console with the same authority as a classic European garniture. This exquisite three-piece set — two grand lidded urns flanking a gilt-framed display plate — faithfully reproduces the opulent aesthetic of eighteenth-century Sèvres porcelain garnitures, the very pieces that once graced the palaces of Versailles and the salons of European aristocracy. The deep hunter-green ground, enriched with hand-applied gilt scrollwork, creates a visual dialogue between rich chromatic depth and luminous golden ornament that is unmistakably Rococo in its sensibility: ebullient, asymmetrically detailed, and entirely captivating.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Each piece in this luxury garniture set is constructed from high-fired ceramic and porcelain, finished in a deep emerald-green glaze that serves as the perfect foil for the hand-painted floral medallions at the center of each composition. The medallions depict loose bouquets of roses and mixed blooms rendered in soft pinks, corals, and ivories — a palette drawn directly from the floral still-life tradition of Rococo painters such as Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer. Surrounding the central medallion, gilt acanthus scrollwork, rocaille flourishes, and foliate arabesques are applied with painstaking precision. The ormolu-inspired brass mounts — cast and hand-finished — include elaborately scrolled double handles on each urn, a flame-tipped finial on each lid, and an ornate bracket stand for the display plate, crowned with a bow-and-ribbon crest motif and supported on four acanthus-cast feet. Every brass component is hand-polished to achieve a brilliant finish worthy of the finest European workshops.

Dimensions & Details

The pair of lidded urns each measure 35 cm in height and 22 cm in width — a commanding scale that anchors any surface arrangement. The circular display plate stands 27 cm tall in its easel stand, creating a harmonious tripartite composition when arranged as a set. The total set weight is 4 kg, reflecting the substantive quality of the materials used. The plate's pierced brass border features an intricate honeycomb-and-scroll fretwork pattern, while its stand rises on four elegantly curved legs with foliate terminals, all terminating in a central stretcher of intertwined brass foliage.

Handcrafted in Egypt

Produced in Egypt by the master artisans of Brass & Wood, this garniture set represents the pinnacle of the studio's decorative object collection. Egypt's centuries-long tradition of metalwork and ceramic arts informs every stage of production — from the casting and chasing of the brass mounts to the careful hand-painting of each porcelain medallion. Each set is finished individually, meaning no two are precisely identical: the hallmark of genuine handcrafted luxury. Available in multiple brass finish options — Gold, Antique Gold, and Silver — to complement a variety of interior palettes, from classical gilt salons to more restrained contemporary schemes. Custom color and motif options are available upon request.
