About the Item
Large antique Austrian cold-painted bronze figural lamp
Austrian, c. 1910
Height 48cm, width 17cm, depth 17cm
This early 20th century bronze lamp epitomises Austrian Orientalist design.
The lamp displays a lone Arab soldier standing beneath a palm tree, his tense expression and raised arm suggesting that he is on guard. He wears typical Orientalist clothing, rendered in muted tones. The technique of cold-painting is used to full effect to add vibrant red and gold contrasts which complement the bronze palette.
The figure is shielded by a tall and elegant palm tree, the trunk and leaves of which are delicately etched into to evoke the natural textures. Further texture is created through the base of the sculpture, where the bronze has been sculpted with remarkable detail to evoke the rocky outcrop on which the soldier stands guard. A small lamp fitting is hidden amongst the overlapping palm leaves, which would beautifully illuminate the figure below.
A later etched mark of ‘AUSTRIA’ can be seen on the underside of the lamp.
A wonderful celebration of Viennese cold-painted bronze design, this superb lamp would make a fabulous addition to the home of an Orientalist collector.

Austrian, Early 20th Century
Height 23cm, width 21cm, depth 16cm
The story presented by the makers of this sculptural lamp is set at a shoe cobbler’s workshop. Made in the traditional Viennese manner of cold-painted bronze, the piece is an outstanding example of high quality Orientalist design.
Three shoe cobblers are depicted working together in a traditional Orientalist building, one covered by textiles to protect them from the elements. The wall is decorated with a large pair of scissors, a tool often used by shoe cobblers.
