Two Brass Items Comprising a Hand Chased Circular Tray and a Wall Mounted Box - This lot consists of two brass items of differing styles and origins. The first is a large circular decorative tray or charger, possibly of Middle Eastern or North African origin. It features extensive hand-chased and repoussé decoration throughout the central well and rim. The central design displays swirling foliate and floral motifs, which are enclosed by concentric bands of geometric patterns including zig-zags and repeating triangles. The second item is a wall-mounted box, typically used for storing matches or spills. It is constructed from sheet brass with a hinged lid and a decorative backplate featuring a scalloped silhouette and a central hanging hole. A white rectangular adhesive label bearing the number 25 is present on the tray (photo 2) and the wall-mounted box (photo 3). A small orange price or inventory sticker with handwritten digits is also visible on the backplate of the wall box (photo 3). No maker’s marks, stamps, or signatures were found on either item.
