Description from the seller

Early 20th Century Asian Style Brass Hanging Incense Burner – Pierced Spherical Design

This elegant hanging incense burner captivates with its warm patina and intricate pierced motifs, creating a beautiful interplay of light and shadow when in use. Suspended from a delicate wire chain, it embodies both decorative charm and functional heritage.

Crafted in brass, the spherical body features finely cut geometric and floral patterns, allowing smoke or heat to gently diffuse. The interior reveals a simple yet effective structure designed to hold incense or aromatic सामग्री, reflecting traditional craftsmanship. The aged surface displays a rich, authentic patina that enhances its vintage appeal.

Originating from the early 20th century, this piece reflects Asian-inspired design traditions, prized for their balance between utility and artistry. Collectors will appreciate its atmospheric presence, whether displayed as a decorative object or used in a ritual or ambient setting.

Dimensions: total length 48 cm (18.9 inches); sphere diameter approximately 13.4 cm (5.3 inches).

Condition: overall good condition with visible age-related wear. Notable repair to the chain, which has been twisted following a break (see last photo). This does not affect its display but should be noted for authenticity and history.

A rare and evocative decorative object, ideal for collectors of antique metalwork or atmospheric interior pieces.
