PEERAGE BRASS:
Peerage Brass was a British company that specialized in brass and copper items. The company was initially known as Pearson Page, and later adopted the Peerage name, likely after World War II. (Peerage Brass was the trade name registered for the company Pearson Page, which operated in Birmingham, England, before 1900. After WWII the company adopted the trade name Peerage and this appears on some of their products.)
Peerage Brass was known for producing original and reproduced copper and brassware, with a focus on period reproductions. The company's peak production was between 1910 and 1940. Peerage Brass is associated with high-quality reproductions of Victorian and Edwardian designs, and their products were popular in the UK and other countries. The company's trademark lapsed in 1991.
Peerage Brass was a major source of reproduction copper and brassware in the UK during the 1920s and 30s. The company had showrooms in various locations, including England, New Zealand, Spain, the United States, Holland, South Africa, and Denmark. Peerage Brass produced a variety of items, including candlesticks, umbrella stands, wall plaques, and various decorative objects.
