The polychrome painting (several different layers) is called cold painted since it was not fired. Up for consideration is a fabulous orchestra with ten pig musicians. I have had several orchestras in the past. This one is different, of course, exceptionally crafted with lots of fine detail. There is a conductor and a singer, both with their sheet music, two pigs with brass, two strings, a harmonica, and three musicians from the percussion section complete the orchestra. I am happy being able to offer you this fabulous bronze which is one of those that I could secure for you during my latest acquisition trip to Europe which was well prepared and quite successful with stunning finds mainly from private collections. Others will be launched in the near future. If interested in rare and unusual Vienna Bronzes please keep an eye on my store. You can be sure that you will not regret it. DIMENSIONS: c. 1 5/8 “ (4 cm tall) without instruments. With instruments the figurines can be a little taller. AGE: early 1900s CONDITION: Good. Minor paint loss. 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 B in the urn or amphora and is marked AUSTRIA - We can send you valuable information about hallmarks of Vienna Bronzes, just contact us.
