Etched Brass Vase and Candlestick Set

This set consists of two distinct decorative objects crafted from solid brass, likely originating from India or of Middle Eastern design influence, dating from the mid-to-late 20th century. The first item is a bulbous-bodied vase with a long, slender neck and a slightly flared rim. It features intricate, hand-etched floral and foliate patterns covering the majority of the surface, including large medallions on the main body. The second item is a traditional pedestal candlestick with a domed base, a multi-knop stem, and a rimmed cup. The base of the candlestick displays similar chased or engraved botanical details, harmonizing it with the vase. Both pieces exhibit a warm, aged golden color with significant areas of natural oxidation and dark green verdigris patina, suggesting they have not been recently polished. The construction is solid cast and hand-tooled, evidenced by the slight irregularities in the engraving work. There are visible surface scratches, minor pitting, and deep darkening in the recessed patterns consistent with age and typical display environments. No clear manufacturer's marks are visible on the outer surfaces, which is common for such artisanal exported brassware.
