Brass Decorative Lot
Vintage, Mid-20th Century

This curated lot of vintage brass decorative items features three distinct pieces with varied textures and design elements. The set includes a traditional octagonal pierced cricket box with a pink fabric lining, a functional oval casket-style box with a swing handle, and a solid heart-shaped paperweight, making it an excellent grouping for a vanity display or shelf collection. Each piece showcases the warm, aged character of vintage metalware with unique handcrafted details.

ITEMS INCLUDED:
1. Pierced Octagonal Box - Brass construction with geometric star-shaped cutouts, pink fabric-lined interior, swing handle, and front latch; stamped with "16" on the exterior panels.
2. Oval Lidded Casket - Brass with a hinged lid, decorative swing handle, and front latch mechanism; features a deep natural patina.
3. Heart Paperweight - Solid cast brass in a smooth heart form with a weighted feel and polished surface finish.
• Approximate overall lot dimensions: 8" x 6" x 3" (as measured collectively)

Condition: Good vintage condition with natural age-appropriate patina and surface tarnish throughout. All hinges and latches are functional and intact. The octagonal box interior lining shows minor fading and light wear consistent with age. The oval box exhibits more pronounced oxidation and surface darkening on the exterior. The heart paperweight has some light surface scratches and minor pitting consistent with use as a desk accessory. No structural breaks or repairs visible.
