Letter Holder, Polychromed Bronze, Vienna, 19th Century

About the Item

Letter holder polychrome bronze, Vienna, 19th century Polychrome bronze card holder in the shape of a lectern decorated with elements of strong classical influence (and memory of the Renaissance and Mannerism) holding a folder, decorated in what would be its cover with a composition starring two swallows biting a garland. In the 19th century, centerpieces and decorative figures in bronze of great originality and quality were made in Vienna (and in other European centers), usually with an exotic touch contributed by anthropomorphic or animal motifs. In the present case, the influence is of artistic styles prior to the time, something common in 19th century art. Weight: 1700 grams." Size: 21.5 x 16 x 27 cms.
