This is a heavy, matching pair of vintage Indian brass vases, featuring intricate hand-engraved floral patterns set against a deep purple enamel ground. These solid brass pieces are characteristic of mid-20th-century metalwork, likely from Moradabad, showcasing traditional Paisley and stylized lotus motifs with a classic flared rim. At a combined weight of 1.55kg, they are substantial, high-quality decorative items.
​Condition
​These vases are in good vintage condition with a characterful, authentic patina. There is some light, attractive wear to the purple enamel and natural oxidation to the brass interiors. One vase features a white vertical drip on the interior; this appears to be a remnant of the original manufacturing or soldering process, adding to the unique, hand-finished history of the piece. These minor imperfections add to the soulful, hand-crafted aesthetic of the pair.
​This pair would suit Eclectic, Bohemian, or Maximalist decor styles. The rich jewel tones and metallic gold finish make them a standout addition to a mantelpiece or styled bookshelf.
