About the Item
THIS IS A VERY RARE SIGNED GESCHUTZT AUSTRIA ANTIQUE AUSTRIAN VIENNA BRONZE SCENE OF A CAT OR KITTEN THIEF CRACKING A SAFE AND BEING CAUGHT FROM BEHIND BY A PUG DOG POLICE MAN AS A MOUSE WATCHES FROM BEHIND THE SAFE. THE EARLY VIENNA BRONZE DATES TO CIRCA 1890-1920. IT IS AN EXTRAORDINARY PIECE WITH INCREDIBLE DESIGN AND WHIMSY TO ITS DELIGHTFUL MOTIF.
This wonderful antique Austrian Vienna Bronze (Bronze de Vienne, Wiener Bronze, Cold Painted Bronze) dates to circa 1900. The bronze is of the highest quality of Vienna Bronzes with superb modeling and expression. The bronze is cold painted with beautiful details. The bronze is very possibly made by Bergmann. The expressions on the cat thief and the smug policeman are absolutely extraordinary! The details are unbelievable. I love the secretive mouse watching, the crowbar on top of the safe, the thief's tools, the rolled back rug!!!
The superb quality of the bronze is evidenced by the realistic lifelike and extraordinarily detailed modeling, the exquisite painted details and the inherent charm of the finished figure.
The dog and cat robbery is from one of the finest collections of Austrian Vienna Bronzes. We will be listing items from the collection and have included a photo of some of the pieces from the collection.
The bronze base is 3.75 by 2.75 inches. It is 2.5 inches tall.
It is signed Austria Geschutzt - the export mark dating the piece to the late 19th to early 20th Century.
