Belle Époque Bronze Game Bird Match Strike by Franciszek Jozef Kucharzyk

About the Item

Belle Époque Bronze Game Bird Matchstrike by Franciszek Jozef Kucharzyk Artist/Sculptor: Franciszek Jozef Kucharzyk, Polish (1880-1930) This exquisite Belle Époque bronze game bird matchstrike is a remarkable piece by Franciszek Jozef Kucharzyk, a master sculptor known for his fine craftsmanship and attention to naturalistic details. The early 20th-century piece features a beautifully cast game bird with its wings partially spread, standing atop a textured naturalistic base. The sculpture is finely detailed, capturing the lifelike movement and intricate featherwork of the bird. Designed as a functional yet decorative object, this match strike includes an indented catch-all area measuring 7 inches wide by 2 inches deep, making it perfect for holding matches or small trinkets. A dedicated striking surface is integrated seamlessly into the design, allowing for practical use while maintaining its artistic appeal. The rich patina enhances the depth and warmth of the bronze, reflecting the timeless elegance of the Belle Époque era. This piece would make a striking addition to any antique collection, hunting lodge, or period-inspired interior. Whether displayed as a sculptural accent or used for its original purpose, this rare find is a testament to Kucharzyk's skill and artistry. A wonderful example for collectors of sporting art, bronzes, or fine decorative objects. Overall measurements: 8 inches wide x 7 inches high x 5 inches deep The bronze match holder stamped Austria measures 2 inches x 3 inches. The indented catch-all measures 7 inches wide x 2 inches deep
