Here is a rare object, of great finesse and full of poetry: an Art Nouveau perpetual calendar, circa 1900, straight out of an enchanted world.
🌿 Made of finely carved bronze, it takes the form of a small rustic house, adorned with two naturalistic tits, delicately perched on branches. Every detail seems to have been sculpted with love, from the texture of the roof to the patinated plumage of the birds.
This beautiful object combines functionality and poetry, which is typical of Viennese goldsmithing of the Belle Époque.
A real favorite for lovers of animal curiosities, antique decorative objects or refined display pieces.
📅 The mechanism works perfectly: simply turn the small side knobs to display the day, month and date ... These are printed on small fabric rolls to be carefully operated with 6 small buttons: 3 to advance and 3 to go back.
An object that is both useful and decorative, which goes through the years without ever getting old.
📍 Patinated and cold-painted bronze, unsigned.
📍Austria, circa 1900.
📏 Total height: 17 cm | Width: 9 cm | Weight: 549 g, height of the house: 12 cm, width 6 cm X 4.6 cm, large bird: 6 cm, small bird 3.5 cm.
It is in very good general condition.
💫 An exceptional piece in Viennese bronze, ideal for lovers of antique objects, nature, and refinement. A perfect gift for a charming home or a cabinet of curiosities.
This exceptional object, given the rarity of the model, the quality of the workmanship, and the functioning of the mechanism, will undoubtedly delight collectors of display objects, Art Nouveau, or Viennese bronzes.
