This listing is for a monumental Pair of Vintage Cloisonné Enamel Phoenix Censers. Standing an awe-inspiring 58 cm (nearly 23 inches) tall and weighing a massive 8.9 kg (nearly 20 lbs) each (total 17.8 kg / 39 lbs for the pair), these are extraordinarily grand, statement pieces that will define any luxury interior.

The censers are sculpted in the majestic form of a Phoenix (Fenghuang)—the ultimate symbol of grace, virtue, and harmony in traditional Eastern culture. The bodies are beautifully crafted with vibrant cloisonné enamel, featuring intricate floral and scrolling motifs in rich reds, blues, and greens. They are heavily adorned with magnificent, gilded brass details, including the stylized crests, the sweeping tail feathers, the lion-mask side handles, and the decorative bases.

The domed lids feature intricate openwork (pierced) designs, topped with ornate gilded finials, making them fully functional as grand incense burners. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a truly monumental, palace-scale pair for a grand foyer, a luxury estate, or a high-end commercial space.
