About the Item
Large antique Viennese cold-painted bronze lamp of a princess by Bergman
Austrian, c. 1910
Height 42cm, width 24cm, depth 13cm
Crafted by the renowned Franz Xaver Bergman (1861-1936) using the very complex and lost technique of cold-painting, this bronze sculptural lamp depicts an interesting scene.
A princess is reclining atop a chaise lounge while a young Arab boy is standing with a fan in one hand next to her. Her musical instrument lies on top of the polychrome rug on which she is lying. Both figures are dressed in typical Orientalist-style clothing, with shades of gold, green and red predominating.
Covering the protagonists is a canopy, its design inspired by Islamic architecture. It features several pierced arabesque decorations through which the light can shine. Surmounting the canopy is a crescent moon, a significant symbol of Islam. Two twisted pillars support the canopy as well as the richly patterned rug that hangs from it. A palm tree plant adds greenery to the scene.
The lamp is stamped with a ‘B’ in an urn-shaped cartouche, ‘Nam Greb’ as well as ‘MADE IN AUSTRIA’.
Of an eye-catching design, this figurative lamp would be a superb home décor addition.
A very similar example is featured in Joseph Zobel, Antique Vienna Bronzes, page 197.

- 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.
