19th Century Spanish Brass Dolphin Foot Brazier / Planter

About the Item

Braziers (known as "braseros" in Spain) were used to heat areas of a home (or castle) by holding burning "picón" or charcoal in its concave bowl. Braziers of various designs have been used for thousands of years throughout Europe, the Middle East and Asia to cut the chill in rooms away from the warmth of cooking fires. In Spain, braziers were one of the primary methods of heating homes until the early 20th century. With its golden brass color and decorative dolphin head feet, this brazier can add some exotic charm to a sitting area, salon or library - filled not with burning coals but flowers, a large houseplant or perhaps magazines or other odds and ends.

19th Century Spanish Arab Style Copper Two-Handled Jug with Wrought Iron Stand

Located in Madrid, ES

Copper containers of varying shapes and sizes have been used in Spanish homes and kitchens for many centuries.

Brazier, Copper, Possibly Castile, 16th Century

Located in Madrid, ES

Brazier. Copper. Possibly Castile, 16th century. Brazier made of copper with a circular foot decorated with vertical bands, a low tubular shaft enhanced with a fine roped molding and a semicircular body, with a wide mouth that flares outwards, and two halfrectangle-shaped metal handles with a torso part on the sides. Of the piece. These types of pieces were used both in civil and ecclesiastical interiors with the aim of heating the occupants of the room as much as possible, and their conservation is rare because they are utilitarian elements that were discarded over time or due to be damaged They used to be objects destined for the upper class, and followed the same typologies whether they were destined for a sacristy or a private residence.
