Reclining Lady Erotic Bronze by Franz Bergmann

About the Item

There is more to this enchanting Belle Époque figure than meets the eye. Crafted of bronze with cold-press enamel, this figure of a young woman lounging in her robe hides a tantalizing surprise. Thanks to a hidden hinge, it becomes evident that the lady wears very little at all! It was crafted by the legendary Franz Bergmann, a Viennese bronzeur who was renowned for his imaginative erotic figure of the highest detail. To find one in such excellent condition is quite exceptional. Signed "Nam Greb" circa 1890 Measures: 5 5/8" wide x 2 7/8" deep x 3 1/2" high.
