[QUOTE="Fid, post: 4382076, member: 7724"]RKB = Robert Kionsek Berlin. Schmidt Felling was known for these too sweet, even kitschy statuettes at the end of a long workinglife. not really Jugendstil, not yet art deco, also working with subjects from the Historismus, so bourgeois. around 1890s under the influence of beginning Jugendstil the idea was to offer something massproduced, nice and not too expensive for the lower middle classes. at the moment many auction houses sell cheap replicas to rightout fakes to survive the Covid crisis. I even had to warn a well-known Berlin house that I will sue them for internet fraud when I received cheap Indian copies in brass instead of bronze Jugendstil items. Germany has introduced a system for criminal complaints where you can report directly to the authorized police of the different Land via internet. lot-tissimo gets worse and worse; partly due to the operator trying to cash in now with a 3 % prime at the auction houses, partly due to complete idiots that are allowed now to sell the platform.[/QUOTE]
