Vintage Solid Brass Swan Figurines, Pair

A pair of decorative swan figurines, likely manufactured in Korea or India during the mid-20th century (circa 1960s-1980s). These stylistically minimalist figures are cast from solid brass, displaying a warm, golden monochromatic hue. The pair consists of two distinct poses: one swan features an elongated, upright neck with its head tilted slightly upward, while the second swan is designed with a gracefully curved 'S' neck looking forward. The construction appears to be sand-cast or die-cast with a hollow core, typical for tabletop brass decor of the era. The eyes are subtly engraved, providing the only representational detail on the otherwise smooth, polished surfaces. Physically, they exhibit a natural aged patina with visible tarnish and minor surface oxidation in the crevices of the necks and bases. Small surface scratches and pitting consistent with age and handling are present. The craftsmanship reflects a mass-market mid-century modern aesthetic, emphasizing clean lines and the inherent luster of the metal over intricate feather detailing. These items were popular as bookshelf accents or paperweights and remain collectible examples of vintage brassware.
