This Art Deco brass figure of a football player, produced in Austria around 1930, depicts a stylised human form balancing a ball on one foot. Crafted with fluid lines and a warm gold colour, the statuette stands upon a simple circular base and shows polished metallic surfaces with subtle variations in tone along the limbs, striped detailing around the socks, and characteristic markings on the underside. Measuring 14.5 cm high, 11 cm wide, and 28 cm deep, the sculpture fits neatly on an office desk or mantelpiece. Placed within a modern interior, this decorative piece brings mid-century Austrian design into focus. The smooth contours and dynamic sporting subject offer a distinctive visual accent for display cabinets, bookshelves, or side tables in a study or living area. Collectors of vintage brassware and sports-themed decorative objects find this piece functions well as a standalone tabletop display.

FAQs

Werkstatte Hagenauer, founded in Vienna, gained renown for stylised, fluid metal sculptures in brass and bronze during the Art Deco and Modernist movements. The designs feature elongated, minimalist forms portraying figures, animals, and athletic subjects.

Hagenauer objects were primarily hand-cast and finished in solid brass, bronze, or copper, occasionally featuring nickel-plated or patinated surfaces. The dynamic figurative shapes are balanced upon simple solid brass circular bases.

Genuine pieces frequently display stamped marks on the base, such as WHW within a circle, HAGENAUER WIEN, MADE IN AUSTRIA, or HANDMADE. Evaluating the fluidity of line, weight, and hand-chased metal finishing also assists in verification.

Place small brass figures on a dark timber desk, mantelpiece, or bookshelf to allow the warm metallic tone to contrast against surrounding materials. Pairing the figure with geometric desk accessories creates a curated display.

Dust the surface regularly using a dry, soft microfibre cloth to remove debris without causing micro-scratches. To retain the natural aged surface patina, avoid aggressive chemical polishes or abrasive metal cleaners.
