Lot 26: An Assortment of Vintage Brass and Decorative Metalware
This lot comprises a collection of decorative metal items, predominantly constructed from cast and spun brass. The assembly features a variety of domestic and ornamental pieces. Notable items include a tall brass water jug with an elongated spout and high-arched handle showing Middle Eastern influence, a small brass kettle with a turned wooden handle, and a miniature charcoal iron with a wooden handle. Lighting components include several brass candlesticks with stepped octagonal bases and a pair of candle holders in the form of blooming lotus flowers. Figural items include a small model of a bull and a figural bell. Tableware includes various small bowls, a lidded pot with a swing handle, and several chalice-style cups. A single silver-toned teapot, likely silver-plated or pewter, is situated at the top of the group. Several items exhibit hand-engraved or chased decorative patterns. Many pieces are marked with circular white labels bearing handwritten numbers 13 or 26 and orange rectangular auction stickers. No manufacturer marks or hallmarks are clearly visible on the accessible surfaces in the photograph.
