072C - Crystal and brass vase

This exquisite Rococo style vase showcases a harmonious marriage of shimmering cut crystal and the lavish warmth of 24-carat gold-plated chiseled brass. The body of the vase is crafted from clear cut crystal, featuring intricate facets that brilliantly capture and reflect light, creating a dynamic and visually engaging surface.

Embracing the characteristic exuberance of the Rococo era, the vase is lavishly adorned with ornate gilded brass mounts. Sweeping, asymmetrical foliage decor in finely chiseled brass gracefully climbs and envelops the crystal body, exhibiting the organic forms and dynamic movement typical of the style. The intricate detailing of the leaves and tendrils highlights the exceptional skill of the metalworker.

Adding a whimsical touch, the vase is crowned with a fitted lid, also crafted from cut crystal and surmounted by a charming, three-dimensional cherub figure in gilded brass. This playful element is a hallmark of Rococo design, contributing to the overall sense of lightness and decorative flourish.

The vase rests upon an elaborate gilded brass base, further embellished with scrolling foliage and curvilinear forms, ensuring a cohesive and visually opulent presentation. This Rococo style vase is a captivating statement piece, embodying the elegance, ornamentation, and artistic flair of the 18th-century aesthetic.
