The group features a pair of tall candlesticks with banded shafts and wide tiered circular bases, a large barrel-shaped doorstop with a central metal ring handle, an assortment of lidded trinket pots in various sizes, and a small ring stand with a central post. The small cast brass bell is decorated in low relief with a lamb amongst foliage and bears the incised characters AGNUS to the shoulder.
