Description
A finely patinated antique Chinese bronze incense burner (censer) with cloisonné enamel decoration, likely dating to the late Qing dynasty or early 20th century.
This censer features a tripod base with three tapered feet, adorned with stylised geometric scroll motifs in shades of blue, turquoise, and subtle accents of green and yellow cloisonné enamel.
The vessel is fitted with lion-head handles on each side, though one ring handle is missing.
The original domed lid is pierced to allow incense smoke to escape; notably, the central finial is no longer present.
This piece exhibits a fine, age-appropriate patina and oxidation consistent with authentic antique bronze, enhancing its historical charm and decorative appeal.
Dimensions:
Width: 16 cm
Depth: 14 cm
Height: 16.5 cm (including lid)
Condition: Good antique condition overall.
One handle ring is absent, and the lid's central finial is missing.
Some surface wear, oxidation, and patina consistent with age and use.
Please see images for a detailed visual representation of condition.
