This lot comprises an assortment of decorative metalware and carved wooden objects. The metalware includes two large embossed brass sheet wall chargers, one featuring a three-masted sailing ship at sea and the other depicting a Dutch style tavern scene with figures seated at a table. A large copper kettle with a fixed arched handle and side spout is included, alongside a group of brass candlesticks of varying heights, primarily featuring slender columnar forms with stepped circular bases. The collection is further composed of smaller metal items such as cast cow figurines, a rectangular lidded box, a scalloped bowl, a miniature teapot, and two copper cowbells. The group also includes a copper plate decorated with hand-painted floral and bird motifs in red, pink, and green pigments. The woodenware consists of turned bowls in varying shades and a group of carved animal figurines including an owl, a stylised lion, a rabbit, and a hedgehog. A cylindrical wooden box and a floral-painted decorative egg complete the group. No maker marks, hallmarks, or signatures are visible on any of the items.
