AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant Chinese bronze incense burner with a quadrangular shape, dating to the late 19th / early 20th century (Late Qing / Republic period). The piece is distinguished by the pagoda lid surmounted by a guardian lion (Foo Dog) and by the refined side engravings. The interior features a turquoise-colored lacquer finish that creates a pleasant color contrast with the dark patina of the metal. On the bottom there is a six-character apocryphal mark referring to the Qianlong period.
Dimensions: 27x28x17 cm
Good overall condition despite its age, slight material defects due to the passage of time as shown in the photos. Observe the photographs carefully as they are an integral part of the description.
