Curios, 4 to 8 inch, Under ₹1,000
About this collection
Curios are the small antique-style pieces of brass: a weighing scale, a tool or a decorative object that suits a shelf, a study or a display cabinet. In this band they are compact and easy to place, and each piece reads well as a talking point on a table or in a glass cabinet.
Brass curios develop a patina that many collectors value, so clean them gently. Dust with a soft brush and wipe with a dry cloth. Avoid harsh polish, which can strip the antique look, and keep moving parts free of dust. Keep the piece out of the sun, which can dull the surface over time.
