A mixed lot of metalware and decorative items comprising brassware, pewterware, and a vintage bamboo furniture piece. The brassware includes a collection of candlesticks of varying heights and designs, featuring examples with barley-twist stems and baluster-turned stems on circular and octagonal bases. Also included is a decorative brass trivet or footman with cabriole legs and a pierced top decorated with a horseshoe enclosing a horse head, flanked by cast duck figures. Additional brass items include a pair of fireplace tools with copper-toned accents and a small circular chamberstick. The pewterware consists of several tankards, each with an engraved dragon motif, alongside a bulbous teapot with a black composite handle and matching twin-handled sugar bowl. The lot is completed by a vintage bamboo and rattan two-tier shelf unit featuring an oval mirror within a bentwood frame.
Condition report:
The items are in varied condition consistent with age and domestic use. There is significant surface tarnish and oxidation across the brass items, with visible verdigris on the trivet and several candlestick bases. The pewter shows a typical dull grey patina with minor surface scratches. The bamboo mirror unit appears structurally sound with some light wear to the rattan surfaces.
