Lot 414: An Assortment of Antique and Vintage Cast Brass Window and Curtain Hardware
A collection of miscellaneous antique and vintage brass hardware, primarily consisting of window and curtain fittings. The assortment includes two cast brass finials or tie-back ends featuring a pineapple motif, alongside several brass arms or embrasses of varying designs, including scroll-work and shell-shaped ends. Some components are fitted with integrated wood-screw threads for wall mounting. The lot also contains two circular backplates in a dark-finished material, likely wood or a composite, a brass circular hoop, and several small brackets, hooks, and architectural components. The designs are characteristic of the Victorian and Regency Revival periods, featuring motifs such as the pineapple and scrolled acanthus leaves. Several handwritten dealer and inventory tags are present within the tray, including one marked with a price of £35 and others with various numerical codes.
Condition report:
The items are in a used, as-found condition. There is visible surface wear, scratches, and heavy tarnishing consistent with age and previous use. Traces of verdigris oxidation are present on some components. One pineapple finial has a piece of pink textile or tape around the neck. As a miscellaneous tray lot, the completeness of pairs or sets cannot be guaranteed.
