This is a substantial solid brass unicorn sculpture, rendered in a dynamic rearing pose with refined anatomical detail and a naturally aged golden patina.

Key attributes • Heavy solid cast brass construction • Strong three-dimensional modeling with crisp mane, horn, and musculature • Balanced stance allowing confident freestanding display • Naturally developed patina that highlights contours and depth Design & symbolism The unicorn has long been associated with power, protection, purity, and nobility, appearing in heraldry, classical mythology, and high-end decorative arts. Brass unicorn sculptures were particularly favored in mid-century and late-20th-century interior styling, often placed in libraries, studies, or curated collections. This piece presents as decor-grade sculpture, not mass-market fantasy décor. Condition Very good vintage condition with honest surface wear and a warm, even patina consistent with age. No structural damage. Patina may be lightly polished if a brighter finish is preferred, though many collectors favor the current surface.
