This lot features an assortment of vintage decorative metalware and collectibles, primarily constructed from brass and cast alloy. Included is a square framed musical plaque featuring a central panel with etched metalwork in the chokin style, depicting a peacock and songbird among blossoms, set within an ornate rose-embossed frame. The reverse is fitted with a mechanical music box, the winding key bearing the maker mark Sankyo. Decorative weaponry includes a large cast brass wall hanging modelled as an 18th-century style flintlock pistol, and a Middle Eastern style jambiya dagger with a decorated metal hilt and scabbard. Lighting and hearth items comprise three brass candlesticks of various baluster and bell-shaped designs, alongside a metal fire tool with a turned brass handle. Desk and cabinet pieces include a circular brass fifty-year perpetual calendar marked London set into a green marble base, a brass Sphinx and pyramid figurine on a plinth, a cast brass elephant, a leaf-shaped dish, and a miniature brass boot vessel. The collection also features a small green enamelled egg on a stand with a dragonfly ornament and a heavily cast openwork metal fragment with foliate motifs.
