FAQs

Cold painted bronze refers to bronze sculptures decorated with layers of unfired oil-based paint, a technique popularised by Viennese foundries in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Pieces were cast in bronze using the lost-wax method, then meticulously hand-painted with multiple layers of polychrome pigments before being left to air-dry rather than fired in a kiln.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit characteristic wear to the cold-painted finish, fine hand-chased detailing beneath the pigment, and sometimes foundry marks or Geschutzt stamps on the underside.

This piece can be displayed as a cabinet curiosity, placed among books on a shelf, or used as a subtle focal point on a mantelpiece to add historical texture to contemporary spaces.

To preserve the delicate cold-painted finish, keep the object away from direct sunlight, avoid all liquid cleaners or polishes, and dust gently with a soft, dry brush.
