Description:
Cold-painted Bronze Parrot, probably Austria, early 20th century, the polychrome enamel-decorated bird perched on a bar with a hoop overhead, unmarked, total ht. 8 1/2 in.
Estimate $400-600
Age-typical loss to polychrome enamel, particularly across back. Lacking one of two screws attaching bird to bar. Bird with bracelet around one leg; it looks as though there was a chain connected to it at one time.
