Large Viennese Cold-Painted Bronze Lamp by Titze

About the Item

Large Viennese cold-painted bronze lamp by Titze Austrian, c. 1910 Height 47cm, width 20cm, depth 17cm Alfonso Titze, a skilled Austrian artist working in the early 20th century is the artist behind this superb cold-painted bronze lamp. The scene is created with a wood, stone, textile and straw construction in front of which two people are present. A tall pillar acts as the main support while the bamboo construction supports the roof made from a rug and straw. A faint depiction of a mosque can be seen on the vivid red panel of the rug. A crescent moon, an important symbol of Islam, is surmounting the whole piece. In front of the construction sits an Arab man with a gun, while a lady is standing against the large pillar. Both are dressed in vibrant clothing, however, the lady’s torso has been left naked. Surrounding them are several objects such as an open chest or a fallen vase and a pedestal. The piece is marked ‘TITZE’. Made using the complex cold-painting technique, this sculptural lamp would be a wonderful addition to one’s collection. Literature: A very similar example is featured in Joseph Zobel, Antique Vienna Bronzes, page 203.

  • Large Viennese Cold-Painted Bronze Lamp of a Mandolin Player by Bergman
    By Franz Xaver Bergman (Bergmann)
    Located in London, GB
    Large 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...
