About the Item

Late 19th Century patinated bronze figural group depicting an owl perched alertly on a naturalistic branch, its head turned inquisitively toward a wide-mouthed frog seated below. The finely detailed casting captures the owl’s textured plumage and the frog’s expressive posture, both set upon a rectangular gilt bronze base with canted corners. The piece exhibits subtle polychrome accents to the branch and retains traces of original gilding, reflecting the period’s craftsmanship and attention to lifelike detail.
