n you ask a couple about the activity they engage in they will tell you that brassing is no easy hobby to pursue but for them the rewards are infinite. In order for them to tell you all about brassing you should definitely ask nicely. The art of brassing makes use of certain images from the flat metal figures seen in tombs, images in churches in stones, as well as any other d'cor from 13th to 17th Century England and prints these on paper to make artwork that could be displayed.
Such a process seems simple when seen in this context but the couple stands by its difficulty. About one year ago was when the couple moved to an Air Force base but before that they were in England for four years. Aside from antique dishes and utensils, this couple who is very interested in collecting antiques has also been able to acquire antique furniture and other items as well. When it comes to the United States, brassing is not an everyday thing but when the couple was in England they grew interested in this highly popular activity.
When it comes to the way the upper class English honored their dead during the 13th Century they would use flat brass portraits that have been engraved and placed these on church floors if not on the tombs. Recopying an image is possible as special black paper is placed over the brasses and then it is rubbed using a special gold colored wax bar.
There is an image recreated as the wax rubs off on the paper following the ridges in the brass. Aside from 200 paper images, the couple also brought with them a duplicate brass from the original monument. A battle in 1277 was when Sir John d' Abernon died and his brass is what the couple put much value on. People generally want to take rubbings off of this earliest known brass and so the appointments have been booked months ahead of time.
What the Vicars in charge of the brasses were strict about as the couple said was only permitting those who have experience to make duplicates of the brasses. Before duplicates can be made the English requires a waiver to be signed saying that none of the duplicates will be sold and this resulted from the incident involving a bunch of Americans who went there and made duplicates of the brass bringing them home and selling them for $2,000 each in New York.
Considering the large number initially put down from 1250 to 1650, about 8 [link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 monuments remain. It is with many thanks to these brasses that the historians have been able to get the clues from the monuments that were necessary for them to trace the development of everything from armor and clothing to lifestyle. From these came about information that included a lion pictured at the feet of a knight means that he died in battle as well as a hound at someone's feet meant that he liked to hunt with dogs.
Art is somewhat late in the US and so brassing is still a relatively new concept in the country. In making replicates of manhole covers, etchings on tombstones [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and other decorative engravings [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], rubbing can be used. Completing the rubbing of Sir d' Abernon may have taken the couple four hours but this is still an enjoyable hobby. There have been invitations by art shows and several schools for the couple to display their rubbings.
