A beautifully streamlined Art Deco greyhound in full flight, cast in warm-toned brass with the kind of clean, athletic silhouette that made the interwar era obsessed with speed, sport, and modern design. This piece reads as a decorative mascot style ornament, with underside mounting hardware that suggests it was originally made to be fixed to a surface, likely as an automotive or coach style hood ornament or mounted decorative figure.
The greyhound form was a true Art Deco icon, symbolizing elegance, motion, and prestige. Collectors love these because they style effortlessly across spaces, from an office shelf to a bar vignette, a library stack, or a modern console where you want one sculptural object that carries the whole moment. The engraved racing blanket detail adds personality and a subtle nod to the era’s fascination with competition and luxury sport.
