Lot 80: Three pieces of late 19th to early 20th-century brass metalware including an oil lamp burner, a drip pan, and a trivet
This lot comprises three pieces of mixed brass metalware. The first component is a brass oil lamp burner featuring a stamped and pierced gallery with a scalloped edge and a thumbwheel for wick adjustment, accompanied by a woven fabric wick. This burner rests on a separate, openwork cast brass ring base. The second component is a circular brass drip pan or candlestick base of cast construction with lathe-finished surfaces, featuring a raised central well and aperture. The third component is a heavy cast brass trivet in the shape of a flatiron, featuring a pierced central design resembling a lyre or harp and supported by three integral feet. No maker’s marks are visible on any of the items.

The drip pan shows light scratching and small spots of oxidation. The trivet displays a deep, unpolished patina with traces of green verdigris in the recessed areas of the pierced design.
