A Pair of Cast Brass Neoclassical Caryatid Decorative Mounts - A pair of cast brass decorative mounts featuring neoclassical caryatid figures, likely intended for architectural or high-end furniture ornamentation. Each mount depicts a female head with an elaborate beaded and foliate headdress, supported by a tapering body decorated with acanthus scrolls, floral rosettes, and a central sunburst-style motif, all terminating in a stepped rectangular plinth. The reverse of each piece is hollow-cast and features a central threaded mounting bolt for attachment, one of which retains a metal washer. No maker's marks or foundry stamps are visible on the items. The items exhibit a dark chocolate brown patina with the golden-toned base metal visible on high points and edges. The casting detail is characteristic of late 19th or early 20th-century Empire revival styles. 24.7 cm x 5 cm.
