About the Item
A very fine antique Italian attributed grand tour bronze lidded censer applied with birds dating from around 1860. The censer stands raised on a square base supported on four flat round corner feet. The central column support sits on a round based with decorative edging and is adorned to either side with standing swans with their wings spread.

The censer has a fitted slightly domed cover with pierced leaf style designs repeated around the lid and with a dolphin finial. The censer has a wonderful aged patina and is not marked.
