Bidspirit auction | An assortment of decorative metalware

An assortment of decorative metalware items, primarily composed of cast brass and silver-plated base metal. The collection includes a pair of silver-plated candlesticks featuring barley-twist stems and circular bases embossed with floral and scroll motifs. There is also a pair of miniature cast brass candlesticks with traditional hexagonal bases. Figurative items include a cast brass sporting dog, resembling a Setter or Pointer, with a hollow-cast reverse and mounted on a semi-circular wooden plinth, and a folk-art style brass donkey figurine depicted with a pack saddle. The group is completed by a novelty brass desk ornament in the form of a miniature flintlock pistol with incised scrollwork and a cross-hatched grip, a brass spoon with an ornate pierced handle featuring heart and circular motifs, and a pair of simple hinged brass tongs or nutcrackers with a rounded finial.
