General Auction including Antiques & Collectables, Gold & Silver (14% Buyers Commission)
A trio of decorative brass items including a trumpet-shaped vase and two small footed chalice-style goblets. The vase is decorated with all-over hand-engraved repeating foliate and leaf patterns. One goblet features an engraved thistle-like floral motif, and the second goblet displays a central circular cartouche framed by a foliate wreath and floral emblem. The set is constructed from cast brass with hand-chased and engraved surface decoration. These items are characterised by 20th-century decorative brassware typically exported from India or the Middle East. No maker’s marks or inscriptions are present on the exterior of the pieces.
