Viennese bronzes are often small figurines usually made of bronze, produced in Vienna since the mid-19th century. - At that time they gained great popularity throughout Europe. They are famous for their excellent workmanship - finely crafted shapes, interesting, often playful ideas and, in the case of colored bronzes, perfectly preserved, vivid colors. They are sought-after collector's items today.
