FAQs

Originating in Vienna during the late nineteenth century, cold painted bronzes are cast bronze sculptures decorated with layers of oil paint without kiln firing, allowing for detailed surface decoration.

These objects are cast using traditional foundry bronze methods, after which artists apply cold enamel paint or polychrome oil pigments directly onto the cleaned metal surface.

Authentic Fritz Bermann pieces typically bear makers marks such as an FB stamp or foundry mark alongside fine casting definition and multi-layered paint application.

Small metal sculptures can be displayed on bookshelves, office desks, or mantelpieces to add decorative detail alongside contemporary furnishings.

Because the paint layer is un-fired, cleaning should be restricted to gentle dusting with a soft dry brush, while liquid cleaners and water must be avoided to prevent paint loss.
