Rococo Crystal Tissue Box with Gilt Brass Acanthus Frame & Scroll Feet

Design & Inspiration

Few decorative objects command a surface the way this Rococo crystal tissue box does. Resting on an elaborate gilt brass frame of cascading acanthus scrolls and cabriole feet with foliate sabots, it recalls the magnificence of the Louis XV court — where every object, no matter how functional, was elevated into a work of art. The faceted crystal body catches light at every angle, scattering prismatic reflections across the room, while the warm glimmer of the gold-finished brass creates a dialogue between transparency and opulence. This is not merely a tissue box holder; it is a centerpiece that declares the sensibility of its owner.

Materials & Craftsmanship

The body of this tissue box is crafted from high-clarity faceted crystal, its geometric cut panels forming a grid of refracting surfaces that amplify natural and ambient light. The surrounding framework is cast in solid brass, hand-finished in a rich warm gold tone, and hand-chased with sinuous rocaille acanthus motifs that flow organically along the apron, corners, and scrolled feet. The hinged lid features a prominent cartouche-style surround at its center — a hallmark of Rococo decorative vocabulary — framing the opening with symmetrical foliate flourishes. At 4 kg, the piece carries the satisfying heft of genuine quality materials and expert construction.

Dimensions & Details

Weighing 4 kg, this tissue box holder is designed to sit with commanding presence on a console, side table, dressing table, or reception desk. The heavy brass base ensures stability, while the crystal panels are precision-fitted within the frame. The lid opens smoothly, providing easy access to tissues while maintaining the cohesive aesthetic from every angle. Every scrolled foot, every cast acanthus leaf, and every chased line on the brass speaks to the hours of skilled handcraft invested in this piece.
