DESCRIPTION: A Vienna cold painted bronze figurine depicting a pair of dandies, dressed in victorian fashions. This is an austrian Jugendstil Vienna bronze sculpture. Created in the best traditions of the world-famous foundry of Franz Xavier Bergman. This sculpture is unmarked. The uniqueness of this sculpture is in its rare subject matter, a dandy-ism; a literary and artistic style of the latter part of the 19th and early part of the 20th century, marked by artificiality and excessive refinement. It was a notable social movement that gave rise to a special breed of men, paying exaggerated attention to personal appearance. The sculpture composition consists of a pair of typical dandies of the 1900s, peacefully exchanging their impressions of some invisible to us object. One lounging in a chair and the second is leaning on the back of the same chair.


CIRCA: Late 19th- Early 20th Century.
ORIGIN: Austria.
DIMENSIONS: H: 5" W: 3 3/4".
