A collection of decorative brass objects and memorabilia featuring themes of British industrial and agricultural heritage. The assortment comprises various cast and turned brass items, including two decorative miner’s safety lamps with glass-encased wick areas and two miniature brass lamp models. Figurines include a standing miner holding a lamp, a detailed scene of a two-horse team pulling a plough with a ploughman, and a horse with a rider jumping a fence. The group features several horse brasses; four are mounted on two leather martingales with motifs depicting a miner’s portrait, a miner with a pony, a miner pushing a coal tub, and a full-length miner. Three loose brasses depict a coal wagon, a steam locomotive, and a figure within a horseshoe. One brass includes a scroll banner at the base embossed with the characters YORKSHIRE MINER. The lot is completed by a brass letter opener in the form of a sword and a small, plain rectangular wooden box with a hinged lid.
