A finely cast bronze figure of a veiled lady standing upon an ornamental “carpet” base, the base plate secured with two original bronze screws and bearing a foundry stamp featuring the letter “B” within a cartouche. The sculpture exhibits a deep brown patina with subtle green oxidation and crisply defined surface modeling.
The work is characteristic of Continental bronze production between 1890 and 1920, when ateliers in Paris and Brussels issued small-scale bronzes representing allegorical or Orientalist female figures.
The “B” hallmark within a shield-like cartouche corresponds to documented stamps used by Bronzes d’ Art B or Bazin & Cie, both active in France and Belgium during the period and known for fine lost-wax castings distributed throughout Europe and the Caucasus.
The detachable carpet plate, cast as a separate element and attached by screws, reflects late-19th-century foundry practice aimed at preserving detail in multi-part molds. The motif of a veiled or modest female figure upon a patterned rug aligns with Orientalist romanticism in sculpture, popularized by European artists of the Belle Époque.
