Great Buy!!!

Nice antique cold-painted polychrome bronze Pheasant marked Austria. Great coloring & in very good condition. This species of Pheasant is called by a few different names, "Gold, Golden, Imperial, Crested", but in any case, it is a beauty. Has Bergman styling & quality, but it does not have his foundry mark. Many Bergman's foundry works were not marked, but you can be the judge.

Best guess on age is late 1800's to very early 1900's. 

I have seen this same casting a few times selling from $250 (with damage) to above $450. 

This pheasant is in excellent condition, but not perfect. There is a slight bronze skip on the tail that is from the molding process, as I observed the same skip on the other sales of this model. Also, there is some minor hairline cracking on bottom of the tail where it begins to bend upward, but they do not effect the appeal of the item & the tail is quite solid. They may also be from original casting of item.
