Description

A pair of decorative metal appliques, likely cast from bronze or brass, exhibiting a dark, aged patination with selective gold-toned detailing. The upper element features a distinctly floral design of clustered blossoms and foliage. The lower displays a more stylized, organic composition that appears to incorporate a mythological or zoomorphic head within foliate scrolls. The reverse of each includes a central, raised attachment tab, and the upper piece’s reverse bears faint, largely indiscernible stamped markings, possibly reading ‘JAPAN’.


Condition report:

Wear to the applied gold finish and general surface abrasion consistent with age and use. Patination is aged. Stamped markings on the reverse of the upper piece are faint and largely indiscernible.
