Antique bronze French bulldog figurine Frenchy Frenchie statue

 

Measuring 3 1/2 inches long, and standing 2 3/4 inches tall, this antique figurine of a French bulldog is in excellent vintage condition. A handsome little boy, he is very hard to photograph do to the dark brown coloring of the bronze. Please forgive the photographs, I tried to show his detail using different types of lighting.
The little Frenchy’s expression is unusual in that he seems to be listening to something behind him. Usually figurines of French bulldogs have their ears clocked forward. Most likely from the 1920s.

Bronze Baby Vulcan Breaking Nut Match holder

This little figure has me mystified. I have done my best to look up why this little cherubic figure with a rather manly face is cracking open that walnut.

Made of bronze and standing 3 inches tall by approximately 2 1/2 inches deep, this figure of a baby Vulcan with hammer in hand, and naked except for an apron and a pair of slippers, was probably a match holder. In each of his feet are screw holes that indicated he was mounted on some sort of base, maybe with a striker for matches.

Austria Painted Vienna Bronze Seated Shoemaker Signed by Bergman

Original Austria Painted Vienna Bronze Seated Shoemaker Signed by Bergman.
The underneath of the chair bears the all important B in an urn cartouche that indicates they was indeed made by the fabled foundry of Franz Bergman in Vienna, Áustria. Excellent quality sculpting, detail paintwork as is expected from a Bergman piece. In good condition but has some paint wear, and bent bits as is to be expected with a piece dating from the late 19th century . Measures 5.5 cm high.
An absolute must have for collectors!
Franz Xaver Bergman (or Franz Xaver Bergmann) (1861-1936) was the owner of a Viennese foundry who produced numerous patinated and cold-painted bronze Oriental, erotic and animal figures, the latter often humanized or whimsical, humorous objects d'art.Bergmann was noted for his detailed and colorful work. He signed with either a letter 'B' in an urn-shaped cartouche or 'Nam Greb' - 'Bergman' in reverse. These marks were used to disguise his identity on erotic works. His father, Franz Bergmann (1838-1894), was a professional chaser from Gablonz who came to Vienna and founded a small bronze factory in 1860. Franz Xaver Bergmann inherited the company and opened a new foundry in 1900. Many of the bronzes from the 1900s were still based on designs from his father's workshop. Bergmann is often incorrectly described as a sculptor but he was not; he was a foundry owner. His workshops employed, on a temporary basis, many anonymous sculptors. Bruno Zach employed Bergmann to edit and cast some of his works, with some of the more erotic ones being signed as "Prof. Tuch", a pseudonym used by Zach. At the turn of the 19th century there were about fifty workshops producing Vienna bronzes. 'Cold-painted bronze' refers to pieces cast in Vienna and then decorated in several layers with so-called dust paint; the know-how for the mix of this kind of paint has been lost. The color was not fired hence 'cold painted'. The painting was carried out mainly by women working at home, a typical cottage industry.
Please see all of the photos as they are a major part of the description.
Priced with condition in mind.
