About the Item
This charming antique Austrian bronze sculpture of a cat captures delightful character and fine detailing, crafted in the style of Franz Bergmann, a master of cold-painted bronzes. The sculpture is expertly painted with a warm, lifelike patina, showcasing the intricate fur texture and expressive features characteristic of Bergmann’s celebrated animal bronzes. Marked "Austria" on the underside, this piece exemplifies the unique artistry and quality of early 20th-century Austrian bronze work.
Cold-painted bronze sculptures gained immense popularity in Vienna during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with Franz Bergmann being a notable pioneer in the technique. Known for capturing animals and whimsical figures in bronze, his works were often brightly colored with a technique called cold painting, where layers of pigment were applied without the use of heat. This delightful cat sculpture is a fine representation of the Austrian tradition of detailed, character-rich bronzes.

19th Century, Black Forest Carved Oak Newel Post Finial Form of a Dog w/ Shield
Located in Atlanta, GA
A highly expressive and deeply carved Black Forest figural newel post finial, dating to the late 19th century, rendered in dense, dark-stained oak. The sculpture takes the form of a seated dog or wolf with alert upright ears, finely incised facial detailing, and an open mouth showing stylized teeth. The animal sits upright on its haunches, holding in its forepaws a heraldic-style shield with a central boss and four bosses at the quadrants, as well as ring-turned accents simulating bolts or fittings. Its claws are sharply delineated and muscular tension is suggested through the modeling of the forelimbs and chest. The sculpture rests on a squared plinth base, likely modified for later display, though originally designed as a finial for a stair newel post...
