Bidspirit auction | A Collection of Embossed Brass

A Collection of Embossed Brass and Copper Decorative Wall Plaques and Fireplace Accessories - An assortment of decorative metalware, primarily featuring thin-gauge embossed brass and copper-toned wall plaques along with cast brass fireplace tools. The collection includes at least seven circular wall plaques of varying diameters, each featuring high-relief traditional scenes. One large plaque depicts a multi-masted sailing ship on a textured sea, while others show rustic figurative scenes, including a man in historical costume playing a lute before a timber-framed building, and a group of three figures in folk dress walking near a cottage. The plaques are finished with decorative borders, including rope-twist and gadrooned edges. Also included are two brass fireplace tools: one featuring a cast handle in the form of a standing figure and another with a pierced scrolling terminal. Several plaques bear small rectangular yellow adhesive labels with handwritten numbers, and one plaque has a circular white adhesive label. The lower portion of the figurative scene on the plaque with three figures contains embossed characters, but they are not legible as a specific name or mark.
