Arts and Crafts brass wall sconce attributed to Kellock Brown
This sconce is literally held together with bubble gum and string but it has great pedigree. I believe it is designed and made by the Scottish Sculptor, William kellock Brown. A near identical design by him appears in The Studio periodical in 1902 and the distinctive background hammer marks can be found on other known pieces he made. Both a student and a teacher at the Glasgow School of Art, he exhibited at the Royal Academy, Scottish Royal Academy and the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society exhibitions. He was a member of Art Workers Guild and the Century Guild where he made several pieces of metalwork designed by A. H. Mackmurdo.

Arts and Crafts copper charger, circa 1900
This particular charger highlights the popularity of metalworking as a handicraft when the Arts and Crafts Movement was at its peak. The exact design was illustrated in The House magazine in 1900 (No.39 P.102) and was part of a regular feature where designs were provided for amateurs to produce.

Arts and Crafts brass dish by Gawthorp & Sons, circa 1905
A repousse brass dish made by Gawthorp and Sons of London, circa 1905. The firm produced metalwork in the Arts and Crafts style and even published a manual about repousse work for amateurs. Nice to showcase their repousse skills with this lovely dish that has a design of an owls head encircled by mice amongst foliage. Marked to back "Gawthorp London".

A Liberty and Co "Tudric" pewter vase
A nice example of a planised pewter vase with hearts around a bulbous base section. It was retailed by Liberty & Co, circa 1905, as part of their "Tudric" range of Arts and Crafts pewter. Nobody is certain of the designer but it has the feel of an Oliver Baker design.

Arts and Crafts copper charger by Norman and Ernest Spittle
A hand planished copper charger made by the Birmingham based firm of Norman and Ernest Spittle, circa 1905.
A superb pair of altar candlesticks designed by former Guild of Handicraft metalworker, John Williams, and likely made by the Newton School of Metal Work. The smaller candlestick is by Alfred Hughes who worked alongside Richard Llewellyn Rathbone for many years and was a master craftsman and designer in his own right.

Arts and Crafts charger - Liverpool School of Applied Art/"Art Sheds"
Delighted to find this copper charger recently.. made by the students at the Liverpool School of Applied Art widely known as the "Art sheds" due to the makeshift accommodation. This design dates to 1898 and was illustrated in The Studio that year. The metalwork classes at this time were taught by Richard Llewellyn Rathbone. Other teachers at that time included James Herbert McNair and Robert Anning Bell so must have been quite a school.

A large copper charger by Norman and Ernest Spittle, circa 1905
An early copper charger by Norman and Ernest Spittle, circa 1900. A really nice example of this well documented design by Norman and Ernest Spittle. They made their designs in various sizes but this is the larger size for this charger at just over 20″ in diameter. The charger has four characteristic pointy edges and the circle motifs to the edge. The centre has a very nice stylised fruiting flower pattern. I strongly suspect that this design was the work of Norman Spittle who completed most of the firms designs in the early days. Sadly, Norman passed away in 1902 leaving his brother to continue the firm. This particular design appears in an article about the brothers published by the periodical, The Artist, in 1899.

An Arts and Crafts "Pewtal" charger by Norman and Ernest Spittle
Love the repousse pattern on this one. It's a "Pewtal" charger by Norman and Ernest Spittle, circa 1905. The design was the inspiration for one of Gustav Stickley's early metalwork designs in case it looks familiar.
