096Z - Black crystal and brass vase

This striking Louis XVI style vase embodies neoclassical elegance, masterfully combining the deep, reflective quality of black cut crystal with the opulent brilliance of 24-carat gold-plated chiseled brass. The vase features a substantial body crafted from meticulously cut black crystal, showcasing intricate patterns that catch and refract light, creating a captivating interplay of shadow and gleam.

The crystal is lavishly framed and accented by ornate brass mounts, expertly chiseled and richly gilded. Evocative of the Louis XVI era, the design incorporates classical motifs, most notably the stylized acanthus leaves that adorn the handles, base, and rim. These gilded elements exhibit fine detailing, highlighting the skill of the metalworker and adding a layer of textural richness to the smooth crystal.

The vase is structured with a distinct footed base, a shapely central body, and elegantly curved handles, all rendered in the richly gilded brass. This harmonious combination of contrasting materials and refined ornamentation makes this Louis XVI style vase a distinguished decorative object, perfect for adding a touch of regal sophistication to any interior.
