This impressive antique desk tray features two large cold painted bronze ducks mounted on a striated ivory tone onyx tray. The two ducks are meticulously detailed and decorated by hand using the cold painting technique typical of Vienna bronzes. They have a beautiful patina that only age can provide. Please enlarge the photos so you can fully appreciate the beautiful details. This piece measures 14" long by 7 3/4" deep by about 4 1/2" tall. The threaded posts that attach them to the base appear to be bronze as well, but the old nuts have been replaced by modern ones. The base does have some small losses around the edge which is typical of objects of this age and use. The cold painting decoration on the ducks shows some wear on the top of the heads, areas where they would have been exposed to the most handling. They are unmarked and of obvious quality. The duck with head down moves very slightly on the base when pushed. One tiny area of oxidation on the surface as shown in the last photo. A splendid piece for the collector of fine quality objects. No breaks, repairs or restorations. Please enlarge and examine all photos carefully as they are considered part of the description. We are experienced shippers of fragile items.
