Arts & Crafts Period Brass Wall Pocket / Posy Holder

Arts & Crafts Period Brass Wall Pocket / Posy Holder 
A decorative late 19th to early 20th century brass wall pocket, likely influenced by the Arts & Crafts movement. 
Of elongated conical form, it is finely worked in relief with a figure in medieval dress, typical of the period’s fascination with historic and romantic motifs. 
Fitted with a small hanging ring to the top, it would originally have been used to display fresh or dried flowers, or perhaps herbs. 
The brass has developed a good natural colour and patina over time. 
Some minor dents and surface marks are present, consistent with age and handling. 
Dimensions: 30 cm high, 7.5 cm wide, 6 cm deep.
