A Collection of Chased Brassware and an Avery Graduated Nested Weight Set - A collection of brass items comprising decorative vessels and commercial weighing components. Included are two circular brass trays: a larger tray with a crimped rim and a centre field chased with scrolling foliate and geometric motifs, and a smaller tray with similar engraved decoration. The lot contains a baluster-form ewer featuring chased floral and diaper-pattern decoration, and a wide-mouthed vessel with a flared rim. The assembly includes a set of brass nesting graduated weights. The largest weight is housed under a bell-shaped cover. One handle-style weight top is impressed with the characters 9 1, 2, and B. Another handle is impressed with 4 and B. The side of the tallest weight handle is stamped with the maker name AVERY. Also present are two sections of turned brass pedestal stands or candlesticks, and a small circular brass dish containing a curved handle or ring fragment. The engraved items exhibit a style characteristic of Middle Eastern metalwork.
