Description from the seller

Bronze worked essences burner box from the early 1800s, consisting of a double compartment: a lower one where the essences to be burned were stored, and an upper one with a perforated lid that served as the true perfume diffuser. Width 10 cm, depth 8 cm, height 5 cm. The box has a front closure, also in bronze, and two bronze rear hinges, but one of them has worn away over time and no longer holds the two parts together.
