Hand Painted Parrot - Vienna Bronze Match Stand - Bird Figurine

This hand-painted Vienna Bronze parrot is much more than just a decorative bronze animal figurine. The authentically sculpted bird figurine has a technical subtlety, which is quite typical for a piece of art from the Vienna Bronze period. In this case, the head of the stamped bird sculpture can be opened, revealing a small hollow space inside. In the past, this space has been used to store matches. The very lifelike surface structure of this authentic bird figurine is skilfully accentuated by an elaborate painting that was done by hand. The result is a remarkable Vienna Bronze piece that is both decorative and practical at the same time.

Our bronze figurines and sculptures are created via an elaborate process which involves many individual steps. The main method of creation is the lost wax technique, which is a traditional procedure that is used in the creation of bronze sculptures. The quality of our sculptures is ensured by our strict quality guidelines and the fact that all of our pieces are refined by hand.

Vienna Bronze is the collective term for the popular small bronze sculptures that have been manufactured in numerous Viennese foundries during the late 19th and early 20th century. These miniature bronze sculptures became especially famous as decorative items during Germany’s “Gründerzeit”.
