Figurka orientalna z lampą - Anglia XIX wiek, cynkal malowany.—
€172.41
You are presented with an extremely rare and decorative figurine from the Victorian era, depicting an oriental figure carrying an oil lamp. This unique collector's item originates from 19th-century England and is an excellent example of the fascination with Eastern culture that swept Europe during the colonial period.
The figurine, most likely cast in zinc alloy and painted, is characterized by meticulous attention to detail in the costume and physiognomy of the figure, which attests to high craftsmanship. The figure is captured in a dynamic pose, holding a distinctive oil lamp – a symbol of technical progress and light in the 19th century. Unfortunately, the lamp itself has not survived to our times, which gives the object an aura of mystery and opens the field for interpretation.
Collector and decorative value:
- Era: 19th century, Victorian period in England.
- Style: Orientalism – European interpretation of Asian and Middle Eastern motifs.
- Material: Bronze or brass (requires verification).
- Condition: Antique item with signs of age; original lamp missing.
