Superb Bergmann Vienna bronze Love birds - Parrots Album Album Album Album Album Album Album You are bidding on A RARE ANTIQUE 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. TWO COLRFUL OLD LOVE BIRDS IN GOOD CONDITION PERCHING ON A BRANCH. GREAT PARROTS WITH GREAT DETAIL! The name Lovebird stems from these birds' affectionate nature. This is reflected by the birds name in other languages: in German, "die Unzertrennlichen," and in French "les inséparables"- "inseparables." For this reason, many people feel strongly that lovebirds in captivity should be kept only in pairs. Others believe that lovebirds, like other parrots, are social animals that can bond with human companions. THIS FINE BRONZE IS PART OF A LARGER COLLECTION THAT I COULD ACQUIRE RECENTLY. DIMENSIONS: 2 9/16 " (6.5 cm) tall and 4 1.2" (11.5 cm long) AGE: circa 1920 CONDITION: Good, however, some scattered paint losses. Original paint, no restoration, no repairs, no touch ups! The leaves in front are bent up. I leave it to the buyer. 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 B in the urn or amphora and is marked AUSTRIA - We can send you valuable information about hallmarks of Vienna Bronzes, just contact us.
