About the Item

A Pair of Opulent Sterling Silver-Gilt 925 Camel Incense Burners on Giltwood Stands, Circa 1900 Masterfully crafted, these pieces epitomize the grandeur and sophistication of the period, adorned with sumptuous silver-gilt that captures the majestic essence of the camels. In Middle Eastern culture, camels hold profound significance as symbols of endurance, grace, and nobility. Revered for their role in traversing vast deserts, camels are often associated with prosperity and travel. The artistry of these burners pays homage to their esteemed place in tradition, rendering them with intricate detailing and an air of regal elegance. Each camel is elegantly mounted on its original giltwood stand that enhance the opulence of the piece. The burners are designed not just as functional objects but as exquisite works of art, reflecting the cultural practice of incense burning—a ritual deeply ingrained in many cultures for its spiritual and purifying qualities. The act of burning incense symbolizes the elevation of the soul and the sanctification of space, resonating with a sense of tranquility and refinement. The incense is cleverly placed inside the camels, allowing fragrant aromas to emerge gracefully through their mouths. This pair of silver-gilt camel incense burners stands as a testament to both artistic excellence and cultural heritage. Their combination of lavish craftsmanship and symbolic significance makes them a remarkable addition to any distinguished collection, offering a touch of timeless elegance and historical depth. Marked 925 on the bottom of the camel. Camels: 5.5” high x 7” wide Stands: 1.5” high Weighs approximately 32 ounces Very good condition. Normal wear consistent with age and use.
