A powerful fusion of light and form, this original wall sconce sculpture by Cincinnati artist Ted Gantz is a striking blend of Art Deco, Gothic Revival, and brutalist design. Salvaged from the storied Fleischmann Estate, the piece showcases Gantz’s signature mastery of mixed materials and symbolic form.

The central figure—a stylized Mermaid from a sculptural backdrop of cast foliage and a crest bearing a nautical emblem. Above him, a scalloped fan-shaped glass panel evokes stained glass, subtly diffusing any light cast from behind. Crafted in cast iron or patinated aluminum, the piece carries a dark, timeworn finish that adds gravity and mystery.
