Brief Description:
This is a magnificent and substantial early 20th-century Austrian cold-painted bronze sculpture depicting a beautifully modelled crested cockatoo, attributed to the celebrated Franz Bergman foundry of Vienna.
This impressive antique bronze displays exceptional attention to detail, from the bird's magnificent raised crest and expressive eyes to the wonderfully intricate feathering that extends across its wings, breast and long, elegantly tapered tail.
The cockatoo is realistically perched upon a wonderfully naturalistic bronze tree branch, which forms an attractive, freestanding base.
Of particular interest, the sculpture bears the impressed GESCHÜTZT mark (German for 'protected', commonly associated with registered designs), together with the impressed numbers 33/053, adding period interest.
A highly decorative and wonderfully characterful example of Viennese bronze craftsmanship, combining exceptional modelling with an appealing naturalistic composition.
