This is a brass chestnut roaster — a hand-pierced circular pan on a tall, elaborately twisted openwork handle, terminating in a suspension ring for wall display. The pierced disc is worked in a radiating star and diamond motif, allowing heat and smoke through during use over an open fire. Stamped \"Made in England\" to the handle, consistent with early-to-mid 20th century English brass work in a Victorian revival style. Displayed here on a fitted wooden stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey features:\u003c\/strong\u003e hand-pierced star and lattice pattern to the roasting disc, ornate scrollwork stem with twisted brass elements, suspension ring, natural age patina throughout, includes display stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIMENSIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eH 58cm × W 15cm (approx., pan diameter) (H 22.8\" × W 5.9\")\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONDITION REPORT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIn good vintage condition, consistent with age and use.
