The Vienna Bronze is well known as small bronze figures handcrafted in Vienna. The first bronze was manufactured in Vienna in an during the year 1850 founded factory by Mathias Berman. That was the beginning of the world famous Vienna Bronze.
The little figures are exquisite hand crafted miniatures and nowadays available in many different types. To the popular motives belong the designs of cats or other domestic animals whereas the cat is the co called favourite motive.
But the biggest masterstroke of Vienna Bronze is the manufacturing of the Erotica Vienna Bronze. These small figures are technical miracles with nice little secrets. The Erotica Vienna Bronze is a document of the prudery of the 19th century. Dancing girls, kissing couples or designs of Adam and Eve engrave this kind of art. The special attribute about the Erotica Bronze is the use of a small steel spring which let the figures come to life. The mentioned dancing girl lifts her skirt if a little switcher get pressed or couples move closer and start to kiss each other.
Not all of the manufactured Erotica Vienna Bronzes are equipped with this little steel spring. Others are just illustrations of couples that make love which each other. But it is not always the man who is kissing the girl. In some illustrations it’s the devil who is touching the virgin or two woman which make love.
These little peaces of great Vienna art are nowadays no more a document of prudery but still nice erotic illustrations and the most famous ones are manufactured by the company Bergman which brands its Erotica Vienna Bronze with the sign “Namgreb”.
