Please visit our eBay store for more fine antique Austrian cold-painted bronze figures, all best-of-class examples from the same collection! Today we are delighted to offer for sale a wonderful antique Austrian bronze fox with duck figure! The elegant and beautiful bronze is finely crafted and detailed. The piece is marked under the tail “Geschützt”, which is the German term for “copyrighted”; aside from that the piece is unmarked, but bears a great resemblance to the work of famous Viennese foundry of Franz Bergmann. The company produced numerous patinated and cold-painted bronze Oriental, erotic and animal figures, the latter often humanized or whimsical, humorous objets d’art. The whimsical figure depicts a beautiful red fox carrying a duck in his mouth. Both animals have life-like expressions and are beautifully cold-painted with great attention to detail and texture. The bronze has a wonderful all-original warm time-earned patina and is ready to be admired and enjoyed! Figure presents well and is in very good antique condition, with very minor display wear and patina commensurate with age. There is very minimal expected scattered loss to the original hand painted finish. This beautiful bronze will make a fine addition to any antique Continental art bronze collection…Fresh to the market! Dimensions: 4″ in height, 8-7/8″ in length, 2-1/8″ in depth NOTE: Shipping cost is comprised of virtually all insurance. We do not mark up shipping. ABC2/3/K/F
