A VERY LARGE GILT-SPLASHED BRONZE CENSER, 17TH-18TH CENTURY
十七至十八世紀大型灑金銅爐
Sold for €7,800
including Buyer's Premium
China. Heavily cast, of compressed globular form below a lipped rim set with two loop handles all supported on three short tapering feet, the exterior densely embellished with irregular gilt splashes, the base cast with a four-character mark.
Inscriptions: To base, ‘dan er bu yan’ (simple but desirable).
Provenance: From the Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Scott Brunscheen, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA, and thence by descent in the same family.
Condition: The censer is presenting extraordinary well. Some old wear and minor casting flaws, one handle bent downwards with associated minuscule cracks, the base somewhat warped, few dents and small nicks, the gilt-splashes spectacularly well-preserved. Superb, naturally grown patina overall.
