Austrian Cold Painted Bronze Spaniel (7 inches)

A high quality Austrian cold painted bronze model of a Spaniel.  Stamped ‘Austria’ to the underside of the tail, the original paint remains evenly applied and of good colour. The face displays a lovely character.

This model is 7 inches long and of good weight (40.2 ozs / 1.14 kg). Very often there were three sizes cast. This example, at 7 inches long, is the largest. Although not stamped with the classic Bergman stamp, the style and quality of this bronze points to it being modelled by the famous Franz Xaver Bergman (1861-1936).

Dated: c1890-1900
