We offer a unique pair of brass wall sconces, which are a true decoration for lovers of antiques and maritime themes. Each sconce has two arms for bulbs, and its greatest ornament are intricate, cast brass decorations depicting hippocampi – mythical creatures with horse heads and fish tails. The sconces are solidly made of brass, a material valued for its durability and beautiful, warm patina that gains character over time. The form and style suggest they come from the first half of the 20th century. The hippocampus motif, originating in Greek mythology, was a popular decorative element in applied arts, symbolizing the power of the sea, travel, and freedom. In the context of interior design, it often appeared in styles referring to Art Nouveau, Art Deco, or directly in objects with a maritime theme. These sconces are not only a functional light source but above all a collector's and decorative item. They will work perfectly as lighting in a living room, study, library, or bathroom decorated in a vintage style. They will give character to any interior, serving as a conversation piece and a testament to old craftsmanship. Collector's highlights:
