'The Dice Players' - A Fine Cold Painted Orientalist Bronze by Franz Bergman.
Stamped to the underside 'Austria'.
This charming bronze group depicts three boys playing dice, sitting on an Oriental carpet.
Austrian, Circa 1920.
Franz Xavier Bergman (1861-1936) was the son of Franz Bergman (1830-1894) a Bohemian metalworker who established a foundry in Vienna in 1860.
Although there were many bronze foundries operating in Vienna in this period, it was Bergman’s which has become the most celebrated, especially for his cold painted bronzes. The bronzes were painted with special enamel colours, often applied to the bronze casting whilst still warm, allowing for natural shrinkage on cooling and adding to the permanency of the colour.
