Over the years, we have offered these delightful
painted and un-painted
Vienna Bronzes, of all different motifs, from the animal kingdom
to the naughty, risqué and erotic. A Viennese tradition dating back
to the 1850’s. Made by the Fritz Bergmann Co., Carl Becker &
Co.,
Gebr. Gödde, Franz Bermann, and other companies. Since the turn of
that century, to this day, these bronzes have been
enormously desirable
to collectors
and have appreciated very handsomely. These days, you rarely see
them for sale, anywhere. Production is spotty at best. The owners
are getting
real
old and tired, way past retirement age. Hard to find young people
interested in doing this kind of intricate work. Especially the
painting.
After dealing
with these folks for over 20 years, I’m accepted as a member of the
“family”,
and am able to get pretty much what I want. My particular interests
lie in the Fin- de-Siécle, Art Nouveau, and Art Déco periods.
This time I’ve concentrated on some larger pieces. Many are
unashamedly
risqué and erotic. Exquisitely beautiful expressions of the human
condition from a morally less constipated era. Don’t buy these at
Phillips or Sotheby’s auctions, they’ll fetch too much. Expensive
as they are here, if it matters, at our prices they’ll still amount
to a sound investment in your lifetime! All
in
Limited Editions, not Numbered, but Stamped with Makers Mark for
Authenticity!
