Eighteenth century brass candlestick. A very popular design in brass, and also in silver. Many were plated along the way, most of which has been worn away. Probably French.

Another view of a Colonial kitchen display in a museum with table and 2 chairs.. There is a display rack on the wall with a few odds and end. The fireplace has spoons handing from it and there appears to be a chest with a brass tea kettle and rye straw basket.
From a note attached to the picture: " A brass warming pan with a very attractive cut out design and a handle with a rope twist. Important warming pans gravitate to some of the important antique dealers. The cutout design was attractive and functional. The openings provided a small draft to keep the coals hot as the pan was swept between the sheets to take off the chill of winter nights."
From a note on the back of the photo: "Two dippers and a spatula made in Canton, Ohio late in the nineteenth century. The design of the finials of the handles are identical, but fortunately they are very attractive. The bowls, and the spatula are made of brass, the handles of iron.
