Censer - Copper

Old censer that belonged to a historical monument Orthodox church, built in 1810. It is almost a hundred years old, possibly from the late 1800s, being found in a wooden box in the church bell tower. Taking into account its age and how it was maintained, it is not in a very good condition, but its history increases its quality... It is not known exactly the year it was given to the church, but we can date it by the simple fact that in ancient, all cult objects that were no longer used were stored in the tower. Its wear shows that it has passed through the hands of at least four generations of altar servers. In the composition of the material from which it is made, we can clearly see that there is also copper, this being made by hand casting, and the handle and chains are made of aluminum. It came into my possession 10 years ago through a chance discovery at the time of the renovation of this church, as I was also an altar server. It can be kept as an antique piece but also as an interior decoration.
