This large equestrian bronze sculpture depicts a saddled hunter in the Vienna Bronze style from the 1900 period. The piece is formed from bronze with a mid-brown patination, displaying anatomical realism alongside a detailed bridle and tack, and stands upon an original green and black stepped rectangular marble plinth. Lighter areas of wear appear on the saddle and flank, while the underside holds a Bergman 'B. in an amphora vase mark and a number. Overall dimensions measure 39.5 cm high by 38 cm wide by 10 cm deep. Placement suits a gentleman's library, specifically positioned on top of a sideboard. The sculpture integrates smoothly into traditional interiors requiring cabinet display or tabletop ornament placement. Maintenance involves standard dusting for patinated metal and marble surfaces.

FAQs

Vienna bronzes are cast metal sculptures produced in Austria from the mid-19th century onwards, renowned for their realistic detail, naturalistic proportions, and fine patination or cold-painted finishes.

Most bronzes from this period were created using the lost-wax casting technique, allowing founders to capture minute details such as saddlery and musculature before mounting the cast onto a marble base.

Authentic pieces often bear maker stamps or foundry marks, crisp cold chiselling details, and authentic wear on raised areas, alongside a balanced weight consistent with solid bronze.

Place the sculpture on a polished wooden sideboard, desk, or mantelpiece where low ambient lighting can highlight the textured surface and contours of the bronze.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid water or harsh chemical detergents. Apply a light coating of microcrystalline wax annually to protect the delicate surface patina.
