Austrian Sculptures

Goldscheider Spanish dancer with a fan signed by Joseph Lorenzl, Austria, 1922. Model 5232.

Excellent art ceramic figurine from the 1930s: Striding young lady with a cropped, delicate top and a large hat, holding up the long, wide skirt with a stylized floral pattern with both hands. On a black oval base, artist's signature 'Dakon' on the bottom. Based on the film 'The Blonde Dream', starring Lilian Harvey. Lilian Harvey (1906 - 1968) was a British-German actress, singer and dancer. From 1923 she attended the ballet school of the German State Opera and received first paid appearances as a dancer in Hungary and Austria. She made a total of 12 films with Willy Fritsch, and in 1930 came the decisive breakthrough with the romantic comedy film 'Liebeswalzer'. 1931 the film 'The Congress Dances' appeared, in which she appeared in a scene 'Christels Song', better known as 'Das gibt's nur einmal' that today still exists as an Evergreen. During the Nazi era in Germany Lilian Harvey's career stopped because of her opposition to the regime and she emigrated first to southern France and then to the United States. After the war she returned to Europe and took turns living in Germany and France, where she died in 1968. Designed by STEPHAN DAKON...

Austrian Jugendstil bronze centerpiece with country girl figure, circa 1900. Step into the poetic world of late 19th-century Austria with this captivating bronze jardinière, an exquisite marriage of function and artistry. Sculpted in the romantic spirit of the Jugendstil movement, this rare piece features a serene country girl, clad in traditional dress, resting effortlessly against a broad, rounded vessel, her poised posture and delicate features immortalized in warm patinated bronze. The girl holds a pair of modest pails, subtly referencing the pastoral rhythms of daily life, while the vessel itself, with its softly aged surface and understated curves, echoes the organic sensibilities of the Art Nouveau period. Together, they form a visual narrative that celebrates simplicity, femininity, and timeless craftsmanship. This jardinière is more than decorative, it’s a statement piece. Whether placed on a grand console, as a centerpiece on a dining table, or displayed on a marble plinth, it invites conversation and admiration. A museum-quality object with both soul and presence, perfect for collectors of fine Viennese bronzes or aficionados of decorative arts from the turn of the century. This antique objet d’art...

An exceptional, large-scale turn-of-the-century Austrian bronze equestrian desk box, expertly cast in the lifelike form of a horse’s head with detailed harness, bridle, and bit. Stamped AUSTRIA along the lower base rim, this piece originates from the peak of the Viennese bronze foundry tradition (circa 1890s–1910s). During the turn of the century, Viennese foundries—including those associated with master sculptors like Franz Bergmann and Carl Kauba—specialized in highly realistic, tactile equestrian and animalier table accessories crafted for elite European and export markets. The upper portion of the head lifts on a smooth rear hinge to reveal a contoured interior cavity fitted with a soft blue velvet cushion pad. Designed as a gentleman’s desktop valet or pocket watch holder, the plush velvet protected fine timepieces and jewelry from surface scratches when resting on a library desk or dressing table. Standing a commanding 11 inches high with an 11.25-inch depth, the sculpture showcases magnificent modeling throughout—from the defined muscle structure and flowing mane to the textured leather-like graining on the harness straps. Dimensions: Height: 11" H Width: 8 1/8" W (8.125") Depth: 11 1/4" D (11.25") Details: Origin: Austria (Viennese Bronze Workshop) Period: Circa 1890s–1910s Style: Victorian / Edwardian Equestrian / Vienna Bronze Materials: Cast Bronze, Blue Velvet Lining, Brass Hardware Markings: Stamped AUSTRIA on lower base rim Excellent antique condition. The cast bronze features a rich, multi-tonal brown patina with light, age-appropriate surface wear and soft highlight rubbing along raised edges. The internal hinge opens and closes securely. The interior blue velvet pad shows light historic wear but remains soft, intact, and clean.
