Patinated bronze incense burner from the Kangxi period (1661-1722)
18th century.
Gilt-on-bronze technique known as "gold splash."
Bears a hallmark on the base.
Decorated with two mythological lion heads.
Gilding on bronze in China dates back to the Han dynasty, but the gold splash technique appeared in this form during the Ming dynasty.
This method was reserved for the most prestigious bronzes. This tradition continued until the 19th century.
The technique of bronze speckled with gold is reminiscent of imperial bronzes of this period.
These pieces are very rare and of exceptional quality, accentuated here by the fineness of the bronze and the quality of the patina.
Dimensions: 16 x 12 x 8 cm.
From a private Parisian collection.
