Why is the paint not fired on?

Cold painting allowed makers to achieve a wider spectrum of vibrant hues and fine details that standard kiln-fired enamels could not replicate on bronze. This method produced immediate, rich colouration, though it requires careful preservation today to prevent surface wear.

How can I tell Bergman pieces apart?

Authentic Bergman pieces often feature specific foundry marks, such as the urn stamp or signature initials concealed within the casting. The quality of the chasing and the distinct colour palette also offer strong indicators. Comparing the anatomical proportions and weight against documented workshop examples helps confirm attribution.

What periods do these sculptures cover?

The inventory spans from the mid-nineteenth century through the Victorian era and into the nineteen-thirties. Turn of the century pieces represent the peak of Austrian bronze production. Art Deco examples introduce stylised human figures and alternative metals like spelter alongside traditional bronze works.
