Lot #59: Pair of Solid Brass Unicorn Sculptures – Mythical Decorative Art

Offered as a matched pair, these striking solid brass unicorn sculptures present a powerful visual dialogue—each unicorn captured mid-rear in a dynamic, heraldic stance. With substantial weight, crisp casting, and contrasting finishes, this pair reads as decorative sculpture, not novelty décor. Key features • Heavy solid cast brass construction • Sculptural rearing forms with strong anatomical detail • One warm polished brass example, one softly aged satin patina • Stable round bases for confident freestanding display • Designed to be displayed as a pair, facing or mirroring each other Design & symbolism The unicorn has long symbolized strength, purity, protection, and nobility, appearing in heraldry, classical mythology, and high-end interior ornament. Displayed together, these figures create balance and tension—ideal for a mantel, console, bookshelf, or study. Pairs like this were especially favored in mid-century to late-20th-century decorative interiors, where brass sculpture was used to add warmth, drama, and symbolism. Condition Very good vintage condition. Light surface wear and patina consistent with age; no structural issues. The differing finishes add visual depth and collector appeal. Can be lightly polished to match if desired, though contrast is often preferred by designers. Ideal for • Curated home décor or interior design projects • Fantasy or mythological collections • Statement display in a library, office, or living space A bold, sculptural pair with presence, symbolism, and decorative authority—far above mass-market fantasy décor.
