Rococo Crystal & Brass 3-Piece Garniture Set with Floral Swag Centrepiece & Flanking Vases

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative ensembles command a room quite like a complete garniture set — the tripartite arrangement of a grand centrepiece flanked by a matching pair of vases, a tradition perfected in the courts of Versailles and carried forward through two centuries of European grand interiors. This three-piece crystal and brass garniture faithfully reproduces the elegance of the Rococo–Neoclassical transitional period, when the exuberant scrollwork of Louis XV gave way to the refined floral swags and symmetrical grace of Louis XVI. Set it upon a mantelpiece, sideboard, or dining table centrepiece and watch it transform the entire character of the room.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Each piece in this luxury garniture set is composed of two complementary materials: hand-cut and engraved crystal bodies and intricately cast brass mounts finished in your chosen metallic tone. The centrepiece bowl displays a wide crescent-shaped crystal basin etched with delicate foliate panels, cradled by sweeping ormolu-style acanthus scroll handles that curl upward in dramatic Rococo flourish. Between the handles, a continuous festoon of cast brass roses and blossoms drapes gracefully across the crystal face — a hallmark of late-18th-century French decorative arts. The bowl rests upon a fluted crystal ball stem above a generously proportioned octagonal base embellished with acanthus leaf castings and raised on four ornate scroll feet with floral rosette accents. The two flanking vases mirror this vocabulary: trumpet-form crystal bodies engraved with a refined lattice-and-rosette grid pattern, crowned with a brass rim collar hung with a continuous floral garland swag, and elevated on four-legged brass stands featuring naturalistic floral clusters at the junctions. Every brass element is cast using traditional lost-wax techniques and hand-finished to achieve crisp, high-relief detail.

Dimensions & Details

The centrepiece vase stands at 33 cm in height with a width and depth of 20 cm, providing commanding visual presence without overwhelming the surface it adorns. The flanking vases are proportionally scaled to complement the centrepiece. The complete set weighs approximately 4 kg, reflecting the substantial quality of the hand-cut crystal and solid brass construction. As a configurable product, this garniture is offered in multiple brass finish variants to suit your interior palette.
