Moving from bronze to brass and figurines to functional art objects—including paperweights, candleholders, and book and magazine racks—he approached all of his work with a sense of economy and purpose. There are no superfluous elements in Auböck’s exquisitely crafted objects, which are simultaneously restrained and imbued with humour.
Founded as a metal workshop for girdling and chasing back in the 19th century, the traditional Carl Auböck workshop is still placed in the 7th district of Vienna in Bernardgasse 23. In the years of foundation the workshop mainly produced the so called 'Wiener Bronzen'. In 1926 the workshop was passed from father to son, who gave it new ideas - the beginning of the typical Auböck design.
This item has a few spots from age but could easily be brought back to its former aesthetic.
