Austrian Cold-Painted Bronze and Marble Figurative Lamp Attributed to Bergman
About the Item
Austrian cold-painted bronze and marble figurative lamp attributed to Bergman
Austrian, c. 1910
Height 46cm, width 26cm, depth 16cm
This impressive cold-painted bronze lamp showcases a charming and unusual scene of two artists working in a pottery workshop. The figurative lamp was superbly crafted in early 20th century Austria and is attributed to Franz Xaver Bergman (1861-1936).
The first figure is seen sitting down with a large ceramic vase. In his hand is a paintbrush with which he is carefully painting the red detailing on the piece. The second man is standing in front of a pottery turntable on which he expertly creates new vessels. Both figures are dressed in Orientalist-style clothing.
The wall behind the artists is adorned with a brightly coloured and richly patterned rug, while in front of them are completed vases. The construction surrounding them is inspired by Orientalist architecture, in particular that of a mosque. A domed roof is topped by a crescent moon, an important symbol of Islam. Each of the four sides of the tower below features two textured glass panes coloured green and red. When the light is switched on, the glass as well as the scene below are beautifully illuminated enhancing all the intricate features of the sculpture.
The snapshot of a pottery workshop immortalised in cold-painted bronze stands on an elegant marble base.
The piece bears the following marks: ‘AUFF’, ‘MADE IN AUSTRIA’, and a ‘B’ in an urn-shaped cartouche.
Showcasing a rare scene, this exceptional table lamp would make an outstanding addition to one’s interior setting.

- Large Viennese Cold-Painted Bronze Lamp of a Mandolin Player by BergmanBy Franz Xaver Bergman (Bergmann)Located in London, GBLarge Viennese cold-painted bronze lamp of a mandolin player by Bergman Austrian, c. 1910 Height 39cm, width 15cm, depth 15cm Crafted around 1910 by Franz Xaver Bergman (Austrian, 1861-1936), this Orientalist sculptural lamp depicts a young woman playing a mandolin and singing. She is sitting on a green cushioned seat while beneath her feet is a polychrome patterned rug draped on two steps. Dressed in typical Orientalist clothing, her beautifully executed facial expression suggests she is in a joyful mood. Above the main figure is a domed canopy. Its construction includes a pierced window draped by a striped red and gold curtain. A gold shield and a flag also hang on the construction. The domed cover is superbly decorated with trefoil windows filled with coloured glass and is surmounted by a crescent moon which is an important symbol of Islam. A similar motif can also be observed on the flagpole. The lamp is stamped with a ‘B’ in an urn-shaped cartouche, ‘GESCH’ as well as ‘3’. The cold-painting technique has been superbly used to highlight even the smallest details of the scene, such as the patterns on the rug or the texture of the seat. An almost identical example is featured in Joseph Zobel, Antique Vienna Bronzes...Category
