AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Silver 800 incense boat – Venice / Lombardo-Veneto Kingdom – 19th century
Antique Venetian Silver Incense Boat – Lombardo-Venetian Hallmarks – 19th Century
Elegant liturgical silver incense boat, of probable Venetian manufacture, dating to the 19th century.
The piece features refined decoration with vegetal motifs and scrolls, worked in repoussé and chasing, with a shaped body, a raised circular foot, and a hinged lid with a decorative terminal element.
There are marks attributable to the Lombardo-Venetian silver standard control system, compatible with 800/1000 fineness and with the Venetian area. The reading of the marks is consistent with Venetian production of the 19th century.
The typology is the traditional incense boat, used in liturgy to contain the incense before its use in the thurible.
Period: 19th century, roughly mid-1800s
Origin: Venetian area / Lombardo-Veneto, attribution based on style and hallmarks
Material: silver, presumably 800/1000 fineness
Height: about 18 cm
Total weight: about 430 g
Technique: repoussé, chasing and casting
The object preserves a strong decorative presence and notable heft, features particularly interesting for collectors of sacred silverware and Venetian silver.
It shows normal signs of aging and use compatible with its age. Please study the photographs carefully, which are an integral part of the description.
