About the Item
Viennese cold-painted bronze lamp of an Arab by a campfire by Bergman
Austrian, c. 1910
Height 42cm, width 10cm, depth 21cm
Crafted by Franz Xaver Bergman (1861-1936), one of the most renowned cold-painted bronze Viennese artists of the early 20th century, this sculptural Orientalist lamp depicts an Arab man near a campfire.
The Arab man is sitting cross-legged warming himself near the small campfire. On it, he is heating a drink in a small pot, some of which he is holding in the cup. His clothing is rendered in earthy tones apart from the vibrant head covering. Behind the figure lies a brown vessel.
The lamp fixture is hiding in the palm tree leaves above the male. These are depicted as moving in the wind, an unusual design on pieces of this type.
The cold-painted bronze piece includes the Bergman foundry stamp – a ‘B’ in an urn-shaped cartouche.
Literature: A very similar example is featured in Joseph Zobel, Antique Vienna Bronzes, page 198.

- 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.
