A Collection of Decorative English Embossed Brassware and Assorted Metalware Items

This lot comprises an assortment of decorative brass and copper objects, including wall plaques and utilitarian housewares. The collection features a pair of large rectangular brass plaques with arched tops and repousse scenes of figures in rural settings, bordered by rose motifs. Several circular embossed brass plaques are included, varying in size and depicting interior tavern and domestic scenes with figures in period attire. The group contains several tools and utensils: a polished brass shoe horn, a miniature brass saucepan or dipper with a turned black wooden handle, and a cast brass decorative spoon with an ornate handle featuring crown and heart motifs. Weights and vessels in the lot include a set of brass nested weights within a larger container, a heavy bell-shaped cast brass weight or doorstop with a loop handle, and a miniature copper-toned vessel. A specific souvenir item is present: a small dish with an openwork filigree brass border and a central copper-toned medallion inscribed with the word AUSTRALIA around a kangaroo motif. The items are constructed from sheet and cast brass and copper.
