Of course there are several artists whose works are also well-known, such as\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hickmet.com\/product-category\/artists\/josef-lorenzl\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLorenzl\u003c\/a\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hickmet.com\/product-category\/artists\/bruno-zach\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eZach\u003c\/a\u003e, etc. But even they did not work on every piece themselves, only the original model. One had chasers for the subsequent reproduction. Thus there are also differences in price for identical models, depending on the quality of the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quality of the final piece depended on how gifted the chaser was and how perfectly he carried out his work. The painting of the final finish too was, and still is, an important factor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnimal figures can occasionally be found for a few hundred pounds, though sculptures in pristine condition and larger figures can be worth several thousand pounds. Value is affected by condition.
