Vintage Twin-Handled Engraved Brass Vase - Rare Vintage Find

There's a real richness to a piece like this. A hand-engraved brass vase, covered from rim to base in flowing floral scrollwork, with two ornate acanthus-leaf handles rising up on either side and a beautifully scalloped rim to finish.

The style of engraving and the shape of the handles suggest this piece was made using traditional metalworking techniques, most likely Middle Eastern or Anglo-Indian in origin, from a time when hand-engraved brassware like this was made for the home and for export.

No maker's marks are visible, so its exact origin remains a little bit of a mystery, part of what makes it such an interesting find.
