Description

Fabulous Antique Goldscheider Figure of Bare Footed Boy {signed J Mercadier }

24ins tall

In 1885, Friedrich Goldscheider came from the small Bohemian city of Pilsen to Vienna and founded the

Goldscheider Manufactory and Majolica Factory. It became one of the most influential ceramic manufactories of terracotta, faience and bronze objects in Austria with subsidiaries in Paris, Leipzig and Florence. For over half a century Goldscheider created masterpieces of historical revivalism, Art Nouveau Jugendstil and Art Deco. Famous artists such as Josef Lorenzl, Stefan Dakon, Ida Meisinger and the two perhaps best known Austrian ceramic artists Michael Powolny and Vally Wieselthier worked for Goldscheider. Several of the artists who worked for Goldscheider also worked for other Viennese studios, such as Augarten, Keramos or for the German brands Rosenthal and Meissen.

Date of Manufacture

David Wolfenden Antiques has dated this Antique Terracotta Figure to the Edwardian era.

Goldscheider figures are characterised by their realistic detailing, often depicting human subjects in naturalistic poses, heavily influenced by the Art Nouveau and Orientalist movements.

These pieces are typically crafted from fired terracotta or ceramics, hand-painted or glazed with polychrome finishes, and often cast in moulds before receiving fine detailing by artisans.

Authentic pieces generally feature impressed factory marks, model numbers, and signature stamps on the base or underside, alongside distinct artist signatures and high-quality craftsmanship.

Position the sculpture as a focal point on a mantlepiece, console table, or enclosed bookcase, allowing its historic character to contrast against clean, modern architectural lines.

Dust the surface gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and keep the item away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent fading or damage to the painted finish.
