Naturalistic Bronze Birdbath From Vienna, Attributed To Franz Xaver Bergmann

A magnificent antique desk accessory made of chiseled and cold-painted bronze, crafted in the style of the famous Viennese workshops of the late 19th or early 20th century.
The piece depicts a hollowed-out section of raw wood, faithfully rendered with details of bark and growth rings at the ends. Two birds with finely detailed plumage are delicately sculpted onto it. With its subject matter, the quality of its chiseling, and its nuanced patina, this piece exhibits all the characteristics of the work produced by the renowned Franz Xaver Bergmann Wien foundry
