Among the collections of artistic objects of the Bagatti Valsecchi Museum, metal objects of Italian and foreign manufacture hold a relevant place: from the brass plates preserved in the Dining Room to the washbasin in the Bath Room, which has an antique appearance but actually conceals an ingenious modern hydraulic system. Metal is the dominant element not only for these decorative objects but also for the beautifully wrought armours, on display in the Gallery of Arms in the Hall of the Museum.

The Bagatti Valsecchi Museum hosts an interesting collection of Italian artisanally made leather goods from 15th and 16th centuries. It ranges from weapons cases and containers to gunpowder flasks and the "rotella", a type of shield used for decorative purposes in parades. Leather is one of the reoccurring elements, together with metal, always present in warrior's equipment of every age.
