Brass Iris Wall Sconce or Decorative Plaque

This item is a decorative wall hanging crafted from brass, depicting an Iris plant with a large blooming flower, a smaller bud, and multiple leaves emerging from a detailed bulbous base. The overall color is a uniform golden brass, showing a soft, aged patina with some minor darkening in the recesses, suggesting it is not newly polished. The construction appears to be cast brass, with finely detailed veining on the petals of the large iris flower and the individual leaves. The leaves fan out gracefully from the base, creating a sense of natural movement. The large iris flower, the prominent feature, is rendered with intricate overlapping petals. A smaller, still-closed bud is visible on a slender stem to the right. The design evokes a botanical or Art Nouveau aesthetic, popular from the late 19th to early 20th century, though similar designs have been reproduced in later periods. There are no readily visible maker's marks, signatures, or stamps in the provided images. The condition appears good, with no obvious signs of significant damage, bends, or repairs visible. The item exhibits quality craftsmanship in its detailed casting and realistic portrayal of the plant, making it a sophisticated piece for interior decoration.
