Ornamental turning chisels is a bit misleading in reality, these types of chisel are however suitable for hard woods and soft metals, the cutting edges not being acute as in a conventional chisel, but more like a lathe cutter, with the sort of clearances you would expect on brass. All of these are antiques in their own right, that's because they just don't make them like this any more....LOL.

This little collection are all by Fenn, very rare to find.

The only ones I have by Holtzapffel

These are by Buck, later to become Buck & Hickman

More of the same by Buck...

These too are by Buck, but are thread chasers and of course come in pairs, all too often they turn up in unmatched sets or just odd ones, well as you need the ID ones to cut internals (looks like a small comb) and the OD ones to cut external they arent much use on their own. The three pairs below are a coarse, medium and fine, they do come in set teeth per inch (TPI).
