About the Item

Antique Victorian Gilt Bronze Ormolu Gold Figurative Incense Burner Continental Gilt bronze c. 1900 Dimensions: H x W x D: 9.5cm x 13cm x 8.5cm Crafted around 1900, this antique incense burner features an intriguing design that immediately captures attention. The incense burner stands on an oval base textured to resemble cobblestones, supporting a young boy with a mischievous expression. The boy is depicted with bent knees, pulling a large container. The container’s hinged, pierced lid lifts to reveal a compartment where incense can be placed. Between the boy and the container lies a cast figure dressed in lavish, knight-like attire, reclining with a spade resting beside him. The design of this piece may reference a popular story or saying from the era, at the time making it especially appealing to Victorian-era customers. Entirely made from gilt bronze, the casting showcases superb detail, from the intricate textures of clothing to the subtle facial expressions. Small figurative objects like this were fashionable in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, reflecting the growing prosperity of the upper middle class, who had more disposable income to spend on trinkets and decorative items for the home. With its whimsical and captivating design, this charming antique incense burner is a delightful addition to any collection.
