Viennese cold-painted bronze Orientalist lamp

This fine lamp is crafted in the Orientalist style from cold-painted bronze. Such pieces were produced in Vienna during the early years of the twentieth century by makers including Bergman and Chotka. The present lamp is representative of the kind. A lone figure sits within a stall surrounded by various wares, including side tables, vases, sculptures, and rugs, all of which are inspired by Islamic art and design. The structure is realistically cast from bronze, with a wicker roof and a support made from wooden beams. The manner of execution throughout is highly naturalistic and of great quality, while the cold-painting is bright and vibrant.
