Antique Chinese Bronze Incense Burner (Censer)

Antique Chinese Bronze Incense Burner (Censer) 
18th-19th Century, Qing Dynasty 
Polished Bronze with Seal Mark 
This finely crafted Chinese incense burner (also known as a censer) dates from the Qing Dynasty, likely from the 18th to 19th century. 
It is made of polished bronze and features intricate bamboo and floral motifs along with a mythical lion figure on the lid. 
The lion is a traditional Chinese symbol of protection and strength. 
The censer stands on three sculpted feet, and the underside bears a seal mark, further suggesting its Qing Dynasty origins. 
However, while the mark helps confirm its age, the precise dating within the Qing Dynasty period remains undetermined without further examination of the seal. 

Condition: The censer is in good condition, with natural tarnishing and wear consistent with its age. 
There is a repair to one leg, which is typical of objects this age that have been used and cared for over time. 
The polished finish has aged gracefully, contributing to the piece’s overall character.
