Victorian Brass Paperweight in the form of a Fireplace, English circa 1900
This is a rather charming paperweight or table ornament in the form of a fireplace with a dog seated at the front. It is hollow cast in brass with a solid back and shows a raised basket grate with blazing coals within an elaborate, almost neo classical, fireplace with columns at the left and right and a small figure scene frieze at the top. The mantelpiece is decorated with two vases and a clock and the hearth below is fitted with a poker and a sleeping dog.The design of the fireplace suggests manufacture in England in the Victorian period and the weight and quality of the brass used conforms with this. The composition is appealing, so much so that modern reproductions exist which can be clearly distinguished from the original by the brass work used and a hollowed out construction at the back where our example is solid (see image 2).
