It is made by the artist Franz Iffland, the piece has the artist’s signature and "Paris" inscribed on the underside of the chair. This is a vintage copy of the original which was made about 1890. This fine sculpture exudes joy and shows motion from every angle. It depicts the innocent joys of life simply as we know it. As the little girl sits in her chair, she playfully starts a game of peek-a-boo with her precious kitty. The chair itself is plain with no intricate details, this give more attention to the main subject, the girl and her cat. Iffland truly masters motion with the creases in the little girls dress and her hair flying back with wild fun. She wears a contagious smile and gives the vibe of simple childhood happiness. This piece is a delightful sculpture that will add a touch of innocence and fun to your office or home. Franz Iffland (1862-1935) exhibited his work at the Academy in 1886, 1888, 1890 and 1892.

FAQ's
What material are your sculptures made out of?
All of our sculptures are made from100% hot cast bronze, and handmade in the ancient lost wax casting method. We never sell cheap cold cast sculptures or resins!
What is the difference between hot cast and cold cast bronzes?
Hot cast bronze is created by pouring a molten metal mixture into a mold. Before the metal can be poured, our artists must first create the mold on a medium such as clay, rubber, or wood. Each mold allows for a limited number of pours, and therefore a limited amount of sculptures can be created in any given round of production before the mold is destroyed and the artist must create a new mold.
Cold cast is actually made from resins and plastics which are painted over. They are cheaper, lighter, and less durable.
Generally speaking, hot cast bronzes are very time consuming and limited in their production, whereas cold cast resins can be mass produced and are inexpensive to create.
