This impressive 9-piece collection of vintage brass and mixed-metal decorative items spans several decades of mid-20th century craftsmanship and represents an excellent opportunity for collectors and decorators alike. The lot includes three embossed brass wall charger plates approximately 10-12 inches in diameter, each featuring richly detailed repoussé scenes — two depicting Dutch windmill and rural village landscapes with text borders, and one featuring a tall-masted sailing ship with ornate scrollwork border, all consistent with English or Dutch souvenir brass ware popular from the 1950s through 1970s. A fourth smaller brass plate, approximately 8 inches, displays a finely embossed sailing vessel scene with elaborate repeating border motifs typical of Middle Eastern or Indian hand-worked brass. Also included is a hammered brass coal hod or decorative bucket with a graceful arched handle, constructed with hand-peened dimple texture across the body, measuring approximately 8 inches tall — a classic Arts and Crafts-influenced form. Rounding out the lot are a pierced brass butterfly trivet or wall hanging, a brass peacock-form hand mirror or decorative piece, a brass shoe horn, and a pair of small pewter or white metal bud vases with blue and white floral enamel or transfer decoration, approximately 5 inches tall. Condition is overall Good to Very Good for the group; the brass pieces display expected age-related patina, light oxidation, and surface tarnish consistent with decades of display use, with some darker shadowing in the recessed relief areas that actually enhances the visual depth of the embossed designs. The hammered bucket shows minor surface scratches and light wear to the rim. The pewter vases show minor scuffing to the base. No major dents, breaks, or missing components noted across the collection. This lot would display beautifully grouped together and appeals to brass collector, farmhouse, and cottagecore décor enthusiasts.
