Objects in pewter, brass and copper carry a rich tradition of craftsmanship, telling stories of everyday life, celebration and decorative arts through the ages. The auction features a wide range of these materials - from old copper objects such as pots, copper kettles and frying pans to brass candlesticks and beautifully crafted pewter tankards with engraved details.
Copper has long been used in cookware thanks to its excellent thermal conductivity. Old copper saucepans and frying pans are therefore not only decorative, but also practical collectors' items for those who appreciate traditional craftsmanship.
Brass is a material that often appears in interior details such as candlesticks, bowls, door fittings and lamps. A classic brass candlestick, with its warm shine and timeless shape, is an object that gilds the table setting. Pewter has a long history as a utility metal, and items such as pewter stoppers, jugs and serving dishes are recurring features of the category. Older pewter objects, sometimes bearing coats of arms or master stamps, are popular with collectors seeking quality and craftsmanship with provenance.
