An Exceptional Example of Viennese Bronze Craftsmanship

At Canonbury Antiques, we are proud to present a striking Orientalist sculpture that captures the elegance and movement of traditional Viennese bronze work. This finely modelled cold-painted bronze depicts an Arab rider seated atop a striding camel, beautifully balanced between realism and artistic expression. The composition reflects the high standards of craftsmanship associated with early Vienna bronze traditions.

Rich Detail and Expressive Form

The rider is portrayed in flowing traditional robes, delicately picked out in warm yellow and terracotta tones. Careful attention has been given to the folds and textures of the garments, adding depth and character to the figure. His relaxed yet attentive posture conveys a quiet confidence as he holds the reins, guiding the camel forward with natural ease.

The camel itself is superbly rendered, with excellent anatomical detail throughout. Muscular legs, a textured hide, and a finely defined head bring the animal to life, while the bridle and harness elements enhance the realism of the scene. The cold-painted accents provide contrast and warmth against the rich, dark bronze body, elevating the sculpture’s visual impact.

Elegant Presentation and Display Presence

This Vienna Bronze Arab Camel Statue Viennese Cold Cast is mounted on an oval bronze-style base featuring a textured ground, which adds dimension and authenticity. The piece is further raised on a stepped black plinth, giving it an impressive display presence ideal for collectors, interior designers, or antique enthusiasts seeking a standout sculptural work.
