Large Viennese Orientalist Lamp in Cold-Painted Bronze

About the Item

Large Viennese Orientalist lamp in cold-painted bronze Austrian, c. 1910 Height 44cm, width 18cm, depth 15cm This excellent antique bronze sculpture depicts a simple yet highly authentic scene. The lamp depicts an Arab transferring water to a vessel, standing beneath a tall palm tree. The waterskin is likely made from goat hide, since goat skin bottles were at the time used to transport water across the Arabian peninsula. This attention to detail adds to the authenticity of the lamp’s design. This realism is furthered by the physicality of the figure, who watches the jugs with an intense expression and tightens his muscles with the effort of pouring. The vibrant colours of this bronze stand out, with the cold-painting technique used to render the Arab’s Orientalist robes in bright shades of orange and red. These colours are very eye-catching and match beautifully with the natural bronze tones. This is complemented by the textural details, with fine etching on the leaves and trunk of the palm adding to the realism of the piece. A small light fitting is also hidden amongst the leaves. The underside of the bronze base is stamped ‘AUSTRIA’. This tender and human scene would make a superb addition to the interior of anyone interested in Orientalist art.

  • Orientalist Austrian Cold Painted Bronze Lamp w/ 2 Figures Inside a Small Room
    By Bergmann Foundry
    Located in Petaluma, CA
    This charming little scene depicted here is so colorful and detailed that it could only have been executed by the premier maker of these bronzes, Franz Bergmann. It does bear his signature with the letter "B" inside an urn. What makes this so extra special is its diminutive size. Normally these smaller examples lack the quality of work that is seen here. The fact that it is a lamp is always a bonus and lit up at night in your home can only bring warmth and joy to the owner. The curtain is so crisply cast that it almost looks like fabric. It's all done with such attention to detail. A great example of an antique Vienna bronze lamp.
