Viennese Cold-Painted Bronze and Marble Inkstand by Franz Xaver Bergman

About the Item

Viennese cold-painted bronze and marble inkstand by Franz Xaver Bergman Austrian, c. 1910 Height 22cm, width 40cm, depth 17cm Crafted by the renowned Franz Xaver Bergman (1861-1936), the inkstand is of an unusual design making this a very desirable Austrian cold-painted bronze piece. On a dark marble base stands an elegant Arab woman dressed in Orientalist style clothing. In her hands she is holding a chain and a stick, both used to tame the two leashed panthers walking beside her. The woman and the animals are rendered in a refined colour palette where shades of gold predominate. The central scene is flanked by bronze inkwells. Each one includes a removable porcelain liner. Their design plays cohesively with the rest of the piece. A pen niche is carved in the front part of the marble. Showcasing an interesting scene and the highest quality craftsmanship, this inkstand would be a magnificent addition to one’s office space.

The Bronze mounted upon a squared green onyx base with a convex beading border. The horse beautifully cast with naturalistic features modelled as a big brown stallion inclusive of its brown to black hue. The horse stamped to the belly Geschutzt with the registration mark 2740.

Franz Xavier Bergman (1861-1936) was the owner of a Viennese foundry who produced numerous patinated and cold-painted bronzes with a range of subjects such as oriental, erotic, and animal figures. He was probably the most famous Austrian bronze foundry who is widely recognised for smaller cold painted bronzes with an extremely good attention to detail.
