Vintage Hand-Etched Brass Seagull Plaque by Hans Scharnickel
Beautiful vintage brass engraving by German artist Hans Scharnickel from Cologne, Germany (active 1970s–1980s). Features a detailed seagull in flight with two smaller birds against a rich darkened patina background. The brass plate is clearly signed \"Hans Scharnickel\" in the lower right.
Mounted on a small distressed dark wood box/base with attractive grain and a small brass latch on top. Includes the original maker\'s label on the back: \"Brass Engravings by HANS SCHARNICKEL\".
Perfect for coastal, beach, nautical, or rustic home decor — great for shelf, desk, or small wall display.
Details:
Size: Approximately 5.5\" x 4\"
No date visible on the brass

The small brass swivel latch has a broken/missing mounting pin (easy to repair with super glue, epoxy, or a replacement part if desired — see photos).

This is an authentic piece by the artist, known for his unique hand-etched brass nature and bird scenes.
