The collection showcases Colonial Revival, Mediterranean, Hollywood Regency, Victorian Revival, and traditional European-inspired styles. Several pieces are marked Made in Taiwan, R.O.C.

Historical Note

Decorative brass home accessories became one of the defining interior design trends from the 1960s through the 1980s. Inspired by Colonial Revival, Victorian, Mediterranean, and Hollywood Regency aesthetics, imported brass décor from Taiwan, India, Korea, and other countries filled homes with elegant book stands, candlesticks, decorative vessels, herald trumpets, and tabletop accessories. Ornate adjustable brass book stands like the examples in this collection trace their design inspiration to late 19th-century English and European Gothic Revival pieces, many of which command significant prices on today's antique market. Today these vintage brass collections remain highly desirable among collectors and decorators for their timeless warmth and versatility in traditional, English cottage, grandmillennial, maximalist, and eclectic interiors.
