ABOUT PRODUCTID 6449
This miniature cannon, crafted in Vienna at the dawn of the 20th century, exemplifies the fine tradition of Austrian bronze work, bearing the mark of a local foundry. The cannon body is cast from patinated bronze in a deep, antique tone with warm, subtly golden highlights. The mostly matte surface is accented by satin reflections on raised details, emphasizing the intricate craftsmanship: spoked wheels, rivets, engravings, and the proportionally elevated barrel. The piece is set on a solid, polished black marble base with natural white veining, providing a sophisticated contrast to the bronze and reinforcing its historicist character. The cannon is securely mounted to the base with two visible screws; the underside is lined with felt. Dimensions: 12 cm high, base 11 x 16 cm. The condition is very good, with no visible damage or losses, and the patina remains even and authentic. The form of this miniature artillery piece evokes the spirit of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, reflecting its fascination with military tradition and the era's appreciation for precision and collectible objects of symbolic value. Early 20th-century Viennese bronze speaks here in the language of elegance and artisanal rigor—every rivet and engraving tells a story of a time when devotion to detail signified respect for tradition. The marble base lends the miniature a sense of monumentality, anchoring it as a keepsake from a bygone era. This miniature can be displayed on a library shelf, console, or mantelpiece in the living room, where it will fit seamlessly into both classic and eclectic collector interiors. It
