A Collection of Vintage Decorative Brassware - An assortment of decorative brass items of varying forms and functions, typical of mid-20th-century domestic ornaments. The collection includes an ornate oval filigree basket with twin scrolling handles and intricate pierced casting depicting floral and foliate motifs in a Rococo-revival style. Also present is a slender ewer with a flared spout and arched handle, a hinged heart-shaped box, a cast horse figurine in a prancing pose, and a hinged container cast in the likeness of a large walnut. The group is completed by a small nautical-style compass in a circular case with a hinged lid, a rounded fish figurine, an oversized ornamental key, and a pair of long serving tongs with forked tips and a dark-coloured central grip. The objects are produced through a combination of casting and wrought techniques. No maker's marks or hallmarks were identified upon inspection of the items.
