Hello everyone!!!
I just picked up this pair of Austrian made cold painted bronze pheasants. These were extremely dirty and one would not have known there were beautiful colors under all of that grime. But, with some very careful and extensive cleaning, waxing and polishing, their true colors shown through once again. These are marked AUSTRIA on the underside of their tail feathers. These would date back to sometime around the turn of the 20th century. The male measures 13 1/4" long and 6 1/2" tall. The female measures 15" long and 6 3/4" tall.
Thanks very much for stopping in for a look!!

Awesome pair of bronze pheasants, both are beautiful I esp love the crested one. You have worked your magic & done a fabulous restoration Scott!
Thank you Jenni!! I felt pretty lucky to find these for the price I paid (in the right place and the right time) as these typically command a high dollar from sellers.

Now these are special, right? Over 120+ years of age?
Remarkable condition ( after all your hard work) Where did they come from to be in such a sad state when you got them? Someone's barn for over a century? Amazing find Scott and I mean it!! Not just saying it...:)
Wow! Just incredible!
Eileen,
Thank you so very much!! These were part of an elderly person's estate and had probably been stored away in a barn or something of the sort. I have a tendency to spot a diamond in the rough, or so I've been told. I spotted these immediately and felt they deserved to be in a better home. I was also in the right place at the right time. So, very lucky, if you will.
