Another Great Auction 11th December
An Arts & Crafts Art Nouveau style ensemble comprising a brass casket with galleon panels and an oak coffer chest. The rectangular lidded casket is crafted from a brass or brass-like alloy, extensively decorated with repoussé or embossed work. Its maritime theme depicts multiple historic sailing ships (galleons) on wavy seas across the lid and sides, with a stylized sun visible on one side panel. The decoration is framed by repeating geometric or knot-like borders. The aesthetic and rich, aged patina suggest a late 19th to early 20th-century period. The casket rests on a separate, dark-stained wooden chest, likely oak, featuring recessed panels and turned feet, consistent with coffer chest designs of the period.
