Grand Opera Black Crystal Vase

The shapes and decor of this work are consonant with the objects that decorated the aristocratic French and Italian houses of the era of Napoleon Bonaparte and, later, Napoleon III. The majestic aesthetics of the Empire style and the exquisite lightness of Rococo, which have stood the test of time, have successfully entered Russian aristocratic everyday life and live in it to this day.

The Grand Opera is like an aria spilled in crystal. Her slender silhouette resembles antique amphorae, in which harmony of proportions and luxury of decorative elements are intertwined. The artfully cut crystal of the highest quality catches and refracts light, like the glow of theatrical chandeliers, and the ornate bronze swirling details create the effect of continuous movement, like a pattern of Venetian lace or the smooth movement of a curtain opening the stage for the greatest performances in the world.

This masterpiece deservedly bears the name of the legendary theater, which has become a symbol of art, sophistication and imperial splendor. Like the masterpiece of architect Charles Garnier, the Grand Opera vase is a fusion of tradition and elegance, celebration and sophistication. She is able to take pride of place in the interior, glorifying the eternal beauty with her radiance and inspiring with her greatness.
