AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fascinating and rare antique pipe of Thai origin. (area of the former Kingdom of Siam), dating to the second half of the 20th century.
The object is a refined piece of Oriental craftsmanship, characterized by complex work. In the shape of a mythical peacock, symbol of grace and beauty.
The object stands out for the incredible minutiae of the filigree weave and for the presence of movable details. (pendant under the head.) The brazier's censer is perfectly functional and solid.
Material: The object is made of silvered metal. (silver alloy, lowering the typical karat of South Asian artisanal productions of the era)
It features a splendid natural patina that attests to its age.
Work: Entirely decorated, with the filigree technique, with meticulous spiral motifs that cover the bird’s body and the nozzle. Under the head there is a small decorative movable pendant.
Conditions: The object is intact in its main structure, but for maximum transparency to collectors, the following characteristics are noted: lid and brazier: the lid on the back of the peacock is present and the hinge works perfectly (it opens and closes without problems).
Details: inside the brazier (visible only with the lid open) a small finishing ring is missing, visible in the close-up photos. The inner conduit is partially blocked by deposits of time. (The draw is limited.) To preserve the integrity of the filigree, no invasive restorations have been made.
It is sold as a work of art, antique furnishing, or a piece for a high-end collection. A piece of great visual impact that should not be missing in a display case of Oriental objects.
The item will be shipped with careful packaging.
