You are bidding on
a rare antique cold painted authentic Vienna or Wiener Bronze cast in the traditional lost wax technique (cire perdu).
by FRANZ BERGMANN,
the renowned workshop which created great pieces with the highest quality level and the highest collectors and resale value!
The polychrome painting (several different layers) is called cold painted since it was not fired.
Up for consideration is a fine singing bird with excellent detail and in good condition.
The colors are still vibrant
DIMENSIONS: 1 1/8 “ (3 cm) tall and 2 “ (5 cm) long
AGE: circa 1900 - 1920
CONDITION: Good, however, some very minor paint losses (at the tip of the bill and at the end of the rail and wing feathers). Original paint, no restoration, no repairs, no touch ups!
The bronze has been cleaned professionally.
Franz Bergmann (1838 – 1894)
was a professional chaser from Gablonz who came to Vienna and founded a small bronze factory in 1860. His son Franz Xaver Bergmann (1861 – 1936) inherited the Company and opened a new foundry in 1900.
From that time the Bergmann bronzes were marked with the “jar” mark and outstanding works were signed “Nam Greb” (Bergman spelled backwards). Many of the bronzes from the 1900s were still based on designs by Franz Bergmann the elder.
The piece bears the Bergmann logo
