Antique Cast Brass Winged Nymph with Swan Wall Sconce Mount

Description :
A detailed cast brass ornament, this piece features a dynamic winged female figure—possibly a nymph or angel—riding a stylized swan. Originally designed as part of a dual-light sconce fixture, the brass element shows evidence of prior wiring channels and wall mount hardware on the reverse. The swan's tail forms a flowing acanthus leaf motif, while the woman’s figure is captured mid-motion with wings spread and arms raised, showcasing late 19th to early 20th century design flourishes. This piece may have once flanked a mirror or entryway and is ideal for restoration or creative reuse in lighting or decorative wall art.
