Description

Two pairs of tall brass candlesticks anchor this spectacular lot - one pair features bold faceted diamond-cut stems on octagonal bases in classic polished brass, standing approximately 14 inches tall, while the second pair sports a darker antique bronze-toned finish with bamboo-style segmented columns on stepped hexagonal bases, equally statuesque.

A smaller pair of bright polished brass candlesticks with elegant turned baluster stems rounds out the candle-holding crew, one on a square footed base and one on a round stepped base - mismatched but charming partners.

A genuine showstopper armillary sphere sits on a turned wooden base, featuring brass rings engraved with Latin zodiac and celestial zone markings including 'Zona Temperata,' 'Zona Usta,' and 'Orientalis,' with painted zodiac imagery on the inner band - a navigator's dream and a decorator's obsession.

Two brass hand bells with turned handles are included, both hollow with intact clappers, one stamped 'India' on the interior rim - solid, sonorous, and satisfying to ring.

A string of three small engraved brass bells tied together on braided rope cord adds rustic charm, each bell featuring hand-etched leaf and line motifs.

A brass elephant candle or incense holder, silver-toned with engraved geometric and floral saddle decoration, stamped 'Made in India' on the underside - trunk up for good luck, naturally.

A decorative armorial cast brass and gilt eagle dish set, featuring a large shell-form polished brass dish supported by a spread-wing eagle base, accompanied by a smaller matching eagle candle pin - patriotic and proud.

A small brass 'Pocket Change' dish in an organic teardrop shape with raised text along the rim - humble, useful, and wonderfully literal.

A large engraved brass plate with painted enamel floral decoration in lavender, pink, and white, stamped 'Made in India' on the reverse, accompanied by three matching brass napkin rings with diamond-cut banding - a coordinated Indian export set of considerable charm.

A domed-lid cast metal trinket chest on bracket feet with elaborate repousse floral and foliate decoration, a keyhole escutcheon on the front, and the word 'Germany' stamped on the side panel - gothic, mysterious, and desperately in need of a tiny treasure to guard.

A brass candle snuffer with a cat figural topper mounted on a long handled brass tray with crescent-shaped stand - a Victorian-era cat lady essential.

A brass bookend or letter holder in an anchor or horn shape with decorative curved flanges - nautical adjacent and structurally bold.
