Benjamin Bunny Miniature Cold Painted Bronze Figure - Unsigned - Beatrix Potter

A charming antique Austrian cold-painted bronze figure of a seated rabbit, rendered in the classic Vienna/Bergman style and strongly reminiscent of the beloved “Benjamin Bunny” character from Beatrix Potter’s storybooks.

The rabbit is depicted in a relaxed seated pose, wearing a simple jacket, with finely cast fur detail and a naturalistic yet whimsical expression. The pose and styling closely echo early 20th-century storybook illustrations, giving the piece a distinctive narrative charm.

Cast in solid bronze and finished with traditional cold painting, the figure shows honest age-related wear, with areas of paint loss revealing a rich, warm bronze patina beneath—an authentic and desirable characteristic of original Vienna bronzes.
