brassware
Ornamental metal objects
Brassware is articles made of brass—the yellowish alloy of copper and zinc.
The term covers decorative and functional objects: candlesticks, door knockers, fireplace tools, trays, vases.
The antique shop specialized in Victorian brassware.
Like silverware or glassware, the word treats a material as a category of goods.
