🏅 SUPERIOR QUALITY CONTROL
The Amélie is a three-piece glass pedestal ensemble of romantic, artisanal poetry. A round glass basin — its surface shimmering with a depth that only handcrafted glass can achieve, its organic rim evoking the gentle curve of a garden fountain — rests within a decorative wrought iron crown of scrolling volutes and pendant leaf forms. Below, a slender tapered glass pedestal of extraordinary elegance tapers to a precise point at floor level, completing a composition of rare and delicate beauty.
The Amélie is the most romantically ornate piece in the VERRE Gallery collection — a union of handcrafted glass and artisan ironwork that recalls the finest traditions of French decorative arts. Available in 8 exclusive glass colors, each revealing the basin’s luminous depth with extraordinary warmth.
100% recyclable glass - A responsible choice for your luxury project.
