Features a hand-hammered repousse portrait of a tradition British night watchman / town crier carrying a lantern. Designed with a backplate for wall hanging, a small round match strike/ring above the pocket, and a wide storage through at the base. This piece showcases the repousse technique, where sheet brass is meticulously hammered from the reversed side to create a raised, three-dimensional figural scene. The town crier them was a beloved motif during the Victorian revival period, symbolizing warmth, community, and vigilance. It adds a beautiful touch of warmth to any rustic fireplace mantle or farmhouse kitchen. See less
