Viennese Bronze Orientalist Mosque Lamp by Anton Chotka

About the Item

Viennese bronze Orientalist mosque lamp by Anton Chotka Austrian, Early 20th Century Height 37cm, width 18cm, depth 21.5cm This remarkable antique figurative lamp, meticulously crafted by Anton Chotka, a premier manufacturer of cold-painted bronze products in late 19th to early 20th-century Vienna, presents a captivating tableau. The lamp ingeniously depicts a mosque, an emblem of Islamic architecture, brought to life in intricate bronze detail. Beneath the mosque's mihrab, the pointed-arch niche indicative of Mecca's direction, two figures linger in a state of reverence. One figure is shown in a reverential position, knelt before the holy Quran, a testament to their devotion. The mosque itself is a marvel of detailed craftsmanship: the wall above the pointed arch is perforated with Islamic-style latticework, showcasing the intricate artistry and precision involved in its creation. A domed minaret rises majestically, crowned with a crescent moon, a classic symbol of Islam, further adding to the authenticity of the piece. The entire scene is cast in bronze, with an attention to detail that is indicative of Chotka's renowned craftsmanship. Each facet of the bronze figure is finely painted, highlighting the subtle nuances of the scene and accentuating its depth and realism. Marked 'Chotka', the bronze stands as a testament to its creator's expertise and the unparalleled craftsmanship of the era. This piece is not merely a lamp, but a tangible capture of history and culture, bringing a timeless touch of Vienna's artistic legacy to any space.
