Beautifully patinated and largest available, famous 19th century sculpture of a blacksmith. If you are looking for a truly beautiful antique sculpture of a cool and strong blacksmith then this famous specimen called '' the blacksmith of Solingen " could be gracing your home or forge soon. Famous German born sculptor Wilhelm Albermann (1835-1913) has made many amazing sculptures, but this blacksmith has become the most famous. We believe it is because this blacksmith is like the archetype of a 'real man', standing strong and aware of his skills. Many (bronze) casts and reproductions have been made, but most of them were relatively small. This particular specimen is not only incredibly detailed and amazingly patinated, it also is the largest one available in the world today and therefor too an amazing eye catcher. Just look at the photos and even if you know only a little bit about antique sculptures then you will immediately see the undeniable quality and beauty in the details and in the coloring or patina. We believe it is one of the earliest 'Schmied von Solingen' sculptures made, because on this piece Cologne is still spelled in the 19th century manner and the technique with which this rare size sculpture was made, we have not seen with 20th century sculptures. In two of our images you can see the base and it is there that you can see that this sculpture was cast with a type of alloy that we have not seen before and to make it extra strong and durable it was filled with a kind of cement or plaster. The reason why we have priced this large and impressive 19th century gem at only 4800 euro, is because the bayonet that this 'Schmied' was forging at some point in time has broken off (and disappeared). When this amazing smith is standing on the floor (like it was in the home where we purchased it) then you somehow feel the urge to rub his head. We had the same thing and that is probably why over the many decades the patina on top of his head has worn off a bit. Even with these imperfections, we believe you will never find a larger or more realistic, antique blacksmith...
