Brush Holders

A pair of unusual and rare Arts and Crafts (Aesthetic Movement) copper bronze or brass brush holders, made by Kinco, England, around 1880. The vessels are of an octagonal shape, consisting of relief-etched panels of stylised oriental floral and leaf motifs, the recesses are filled with a colour of a graphite tone; bevelled edges or wires; 15.3 cm (6 ins) height x 7.5 cm (3 ins) diameter. Apart from a small dent (6 mm; 0.25 ins long) in one of the panels the condition of both vessels is very good.

Kinco's choice of patterns was of Japanese, Chinese or Indian origin, adapted to suit the British taste. They are believed to be influenced by the work of Christopher Dresser, following his return from Japan in 1877. Dresser, who originally specialised in botany, gaining a university doctorate, created a language of design inspired by his study of botany and cultures beyond the confines of the West.
