About the Item

This set of seven antique bronze cats are each posed differently, and are cast using the highly collectible Viennese cold painted bronze technique. The labour-intensive technique involves casting each piece in several sections and welding them together. The process takes its name from the final surface finish, which is achieved through working the cast surface and then applying multiple layers of lead-based paint. Pieces made using this technique are often whimsical and amusing, which have become highly sought-after by collectors. The seven models have the following dimensions: Cat with a cone, height 6cm Cat with a broom, height 4.5cm Sitting cat, height 2.5cm Lying cat, height 1.5cm Cat on pot, height 4cm Cat holding another cat, height 5cm.
