Lot 26:
An Assortment of Antique and Vintage Brass Door Hardware and Lighting Components including a Rabone and Sons Rule
Description
This lot consists of a collection of late 19th and early 20th-century British hardware, tools, and decorative items. The primary materials include cast and pressed brass, boxwood, silver-plated base metal, glass, and enamelled ceramic.
The architectural salvage includes a large brass rim lock plate with an open keyhole and various brass escutcheons and finger plates. One brass backplate features a cast central crest depicting a lion rampant above a square spindle aperture. The metalwork exhibits a darkened patina with surface oxidation and areas of verdigris.
A featured tool is a two-foot, four-fold boxwood and brass rule. The wood is stamped with the incised characters R A B O N E & S O N S, MAKERS, and N 1375. The rule includes brass hinges and tips.
The decorative and lighting components include various disassembled brass candlestick parts, such as bases and nozzles with beaded and fluted edges. There are two brass frames: one rectangular frame with a stepped profile and one smaller frame with a scalloped pie-crust edge.
Vanity and tableware items include a silver-plated repoussé back for a hand mirror or hairbrush, featuring a relief design of grapes and vine leaves. Also included is a circular red glass dish with gilt floral transfer decoration, a small circular enamelled bowl with a blue ground and floral motifs, and a large glass panel with a metal-bound edge and handle, typically from a carriage lamp or lantern.
Measurements:
The brass rim lock plate measures approximately 6 inches in width, derived from the accompanying folding rule.
