A beautiful early Austrian bronze dog.

A great sculptor must have created our wonderful Spitz.

 

The vast majority of the Austrian sculptors are long forgotten. Only a few became famous. The dog was masterfully created absolutely lifelike and the characteristics of the Spitz were captured realistically in solid bronze and highlighted by a skilled, mostly academically educated, painter.

Enlarge the thumbnails and discover the difference between the solid work from old Austria and the many knock-offs that you see these days. Our collectors know that we guarantee the authenticity of the gems we offer.

At the turn to the last century they had about fifty to eighty workshops. Greedy sellers offering fakes love to describe most of their items as products of Bergmann, probably the only foundry of which they heard of, and even spell the name wrongly.
