Austrian Cold Painted Bronze Budgerigars Perched on a Leafy Branch

This large scale Austrian bronze depicts three blue budgerigars perched together on a leafy branch. The modelling and condition of this bronze is superb. The painted feather detail is fresh and bright, indicating this has been a prized example and spent most of its life in the protected environment of a display cabinet. The bronze is mounted onto a moulded and polished black marble base with white, grey and sable inclusions and grain. The underside of the marble is leather lined to protect a polished surface. This bronze is in excellent condition with some very small minor losses to the painted decoration in keeping with age and handling. Austrian, circa 1930 Height 23cm x width 33cm x depth 16cm
