Buyer's Premium:

A collection of approximately 30 pieces of decorative and collectable metalware, primarily comprising cast and hammered brass and copper alloys. The group includes 13 cast brass horse brasses featuring motifs such as horses in various poses, horse-drawn carriages, a swan, a crown, a stag, and a ship’s wheel. One commemorative brass features a central portrait bust inscribed Crowned 1911, likely relating to the coronation of King George V. Holloware items include a large Middle Eastern Dallah coffee pot with hammered and engraved foliate designs and a bird-like spout, a set of three nested graduated rectangular boxes with etched floral patterns and traces of red and black pigment, and an apple-shaped lidded pot with a cast stem and leaves. The collection also contains a square box with a brick-textured surface and a globular incense burner with a pierced lid. Figurines and miniatures include several cast brass animals such as camels and horses, a detailed miniature horse and cart, and a spindled chair. Novelty items comprise two snake-shaped napkin rings with etched scales and red paint, a miniature bottle labelled Harp Lager, a small watering can, a lighthouse-style shaker, a conical wick snuffer on a twisted rod handle, and a small engraved goblet.
