An Assortment of Vintage and Antique Brass Metalware and Decorative Objects

An assortment of cast brass decorative and functional items comprising a double-bell desk ornament mounted on a central pillar and ebonised circular base, a door knocker featuring a central sunburst motif within a circular ring, a pair of miniature baluster-form candlesticks on stepped square bases, a figural novelty bottle opener in the form of a female nude, a fish-shaped pin tray or ashtray with textured scale detail, and a tiered conical handbell. The items are produced from cast brass using traditional sand-casting techniques. No maker’s marks or inscriptions are discernible on any of the pieces. The collection includes items ranging from 19th-century traditional styles to mid-20th-century novelty wares.
