Orientalist cold-painted bronze sculptural table lamp, signed in cast Chotka (Anton Chotka, Austrian, 1881-1955), modeled as a temple guard standing in front of an architectural doorway, observed operating, would likely benefit from new plug, approx 13"h, 6"w, 5"d, 9lbs **Provenance: Property from a distinguished private collection**

09/24/2026: In my opinion regarding LOT : 3057- as described, the lamp was observed operating, the cord exhibits age and would likely benefit from being replaced, the frame is overall intact, I note a glue repair with visible adhesive to the urn form final at upper right, otherwise I observe only typical wear to the decorated surface, some pitting, rubs and tonal variations, as well as imperfections to the original casting, the figures sword may be slightly bent, all mentioned minor and commensurate with age, display and use
