Brass Arts and Crafts Jardiniere by Henry Loveridge is a truly remarkable piece that showcases both exquisite design and exceptional craftsmanship. This heavy quality jardiniere, which may have originally served as a coal helmet, stands elegantly on three shapely legs, adding a touch of sophistication to any space. The chunky ring handles not only provide practicality but also contribute to the overall aesthetic appeal of the piece. Adorned with a bold band of roundels around the top, this jardiniere exudes a sense of grandeur and timeless beauty. Stamped underneath, this jardiniere is a testament to the attention to detail and superior quality that Henry Loveridge is renowned for. The company, which originated in 1840, quickly established itself as one of the largest japanners in the country during the 19th century. Initially specializing in japanware made from papier mache and tin, Loveridge's adapted to the changing market by expanding into copper and brassware as the demand for japanning declined. Unfortunately, no records or catalogs from the company have been discovered, making it necessary to rely on archaeological findings to piece together the history of Loveridge's. While it is unclear whether all of Loveridge's products were marked with a maker's mark, it is likely that only a fraction of their mass-produced items were labeled. Prior to the late 19th century, it was uncommon for trade or other marks to be placed on such items. However, a few japanned pieces and a cast iron cooking pot...

Exquisite bronze pricket candlesticks, dating from the late 17th or early 18th century, are a magnificent testament to the enduring craftsmanship of the period. This rare and complete set of three, a true find for any discerning collector, showcases a design that is both elegant and substantial. Each candlestick is cast in solid bronze, possessing a rich, warm patina that speaks to centuries of history and careful preservation. The surface exhibits a subtle, aged sheen with areas of verdigris and patination that beautifully highlight the contours and age of the pieces. The form is classic and well-proportioned, featuring a broad, tiered circular base that provides a solid foundation. Rising from the base is a turned, baluster-form stem, which leads up to the deep, wide drip pan. The generous proportions of the pan are not merely decorative; they were designed to effectively catch the molten wax, a practical detail that underscores the functional yet beautiful nature of these objects. At the centre of each pan stands...
