Vintage Homco Brass Butterfly Bundle — 3D Layered Wings Wall Art (Set of 3)

A set of three vintage Homco brass and gold-tone metal butterflies designed for wall hanging. Each features dimensional, layered wings that create realistic depth and a flying effect.

Mid-Century Modern era design from the 1960s-1970s, when Homco (Home Interiors & Gifts) was producing this distinctive decorative metalware.

The Set

  • Largest butterfly: 5" long × 5" wide
  • Medium butterfly: 4" long × 4" wide
  • Smallest butterfly: 3.5" long × 4" wide

These Homco butterflies showcase the brand's signature approach to home décor: affordable, well-made metal pieces with dimensional detail. Each butterfly features:

  • Layered, translucent amber and gold-tone wings for realistic light play

  • Built-in wall-hanging hooks or notches on the back for secure mounting
  • Three-dimensional wing design that casts subtle shadows when lit

Questions buyers ask

Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.

Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.

I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.

I process order within 2 business days, wrapped and boxed so it arrives the way it left here. Don't forget, free shipping on orders $35 and up.
