Ultimate Antique Harem Orientalist Vienna Bronze Lamp impressed Austria on the tent pole. The lamp depicts a semi nude lady reclining smoking a cigar and being offered treats by one of her attendants while the other Nubian attendant holds a long fan ready to fan the lady if requested. This model was sold at Christie's New York on April 12, 2007 lot # 36 for $57,500 in their 19th Century European and Orientalist Art Sale. The picture from the catalog is included with our pictures. You can see that even without its original base and the fan in the Nubian attendants hand broken off it realized $57,500. To see another complete example view our friend Joe Zobel's book on Antique Vienna Bronzes. He has the same model on the original black and gold marble base and the Nubian attendants fan intact like ours pictured on page 191. This model measures 15-1/2 inches tall. The base is 9-1/2 wide by 8-1/4 inches deep by 1 inch high. Weight 22 pounds. This is a superb example in excellent condition of the most sought after and desirable Antique Orientalist Vienna Bronze Lamps. Due to a very fortunate purchase we can offer this beautiful superb condition example for half the price that an incomplete lamp sold for at auction in New York more than 2 years ago. Guaranteed to please as are all our items. (Item #71984)
