About the Item
A Rare and Important Set of 19th Century Cold-Painted Metal Orientalist Wall Sculptures Depicting Bedouin Arab Figures
Continental, Late 19th Century
An exceptional and richly evocative ensemble of Orientalist wall-mounted relief sculptures, this rare antique set dates to the late 19th century and exemplifies the heightened Western fascination with Middle Eastern subjects during the period. Executed in cold-painted metal, likely a spelter or bronze alloy, each piece is masterfully modelled in high relief and retains its original polychrome surface—subtly aged yet remarkably vibrant.
These finely cast figures, garbed in traditional Bedouin attire, are imbued with expressive realism and detailed ornamentation, reflecting the artistic ideals of the Orientalist movement and its romanticized portrayal of Arab nomadic life. The sculptural quality and painterly finish suggest a Continental origin, possibly French or Austrian, in the tradition of Bergman and his contemporaries.
Offered as a complete and matching set - an uncommon occurrence - these works are not only decorative showpieces but also significant cultural artifacts. The integrity of the cold-painting, the rarity of the subject, and the dimensional craftsmanship place this set among the more distinguished examples of 19th-century Orientalist decorative art.
From an important private French collection.
