Pair of Antique French Gilded Brass Chimera / Sphinx Architectural Brackets Elevate your interior architecture or fine cabinetry with this exceptional pair of antique French cast brass decorative supports. Blending elements of high Gothic Revival and Renaissance Revival style, these openwork brackets showcase extraordinary craftsmanship, featuring a dramatic mythological beast integrated into elegant, sweeping scrollwork.
The creatures are integrated into an elegant framework of sweeping architectural curves, fluid scrolls, and foliate accents. The backplates are beautifully detailed with traditional gothic-style finials and a striking central rosette/star medallion. These pieces are a true mirror-image set (one left-facing, one right-facing), making them ideal for balanced placement under a grand shelf, mantelpiece, or architectural beam. Can be transformed to a pair of wall sconces.
Measurements about 18\" tall, 4 1/4\" wide, 13 3/4\" extend , wall plate is 18\" x4\" , weight is almost 14lb.
Excellent antique condition. The gilded finish displays a bright luster with minimal wear and beautiful natural depth in the recessed carvings. The brass castings are structurally sound, crisp, and free from bends or breaks.
IMPORTANT INFO. Dear customers. I used to keep my store in Spain and work from Europe. The high import taxes and new tariffs implemented by the US government made it impossible to continue. Shipping costs to the US have doubled since September 1st 2025, and the added import tax for US customers means the business from Europe simply doesn\'t make financial sense anymore. On my recent trip to the US, I brought a batch of inventory with me, packed everything up and stored it in the US. Since I\'m now in Spain, I unfortunately cannot access the items to make any changes. This means I can\'t take new photos, change shipping, or combine anything. They are all pre-packed and ready to go as is.
Thanks a lot for your interest and understanding. Sincerely
