This is a monumental vintage gilt bronze censer, also known as an incense burner. The piece features a domed lid topped with a finely cast mythical beast (lion or Foo Dog) finial. The lid is pierced with stylized cloud-shaped openings for incense smoke to escape. The body is heavily decorated with high-relief gilt dragons chasing flaming pearls amidst scrolling clouds. It is flanked by two elaborate handles shaped like dragon heads. The censer rests on three sturdy cabriole legs ending in beast paws. This is a substantial and impressive piece, weighing approximately 11 kg, making it a commanding centerpiece for any room or collection.
