Hi Everyone! I am Amy, one of the Moderators here at Secondhandsquad.net. Part of that role is to assist with any questions you may have, so fire away! I am from Columbus, Ohio and love thrifting and perusing our local antique stores! I enjoy pieces that remind me of my grandparents and love the hunt of finding unique treasures to bring into my home. While I love the reselling business, I find my joy in giving new life to old pieces and sharing that with others.
Virginia Metalcrafters operated for decades as one of America's premier producers of fine sand-cast brass decorative accessories and hardware. Founded in Waynesboro, Virginia, the company earned an international reputation for faithfully reproducing historic metalwork as well as creating original botanical-themed home accents. Their pieces were produced using traditional techniques, often featuring heavy brass construction and detailed textured finishes that mimicked natural plant life.
Botanical motifs, particularly holly leaves, ivy, and oak leaves, became especially popular during the mid-20th century as home decor embraced organic shapes and nature-inspired tabletop accessories. These small catchall trays served versatile functions in the household, ranging from pin trays on vanities to small dishes for calling cards or paperclips on a executive desk. Today, these vintage brass items are appreciated by collectors of mid-century Americana and decorative metalware for their sturdy craftsmanship and enduring aesthetic.
