"Pair Of Gilt Bronze Incense Burners – Empire Style – Early 19th Century"

A rare pair of chased and gilt bronze incense burners or potpourris, classical in form, mounted on antique-style fluted column bases. Each piece rests on a soberly molded square base, topped with a fluted shaft evoking an Ionic capital, and a hemispherical bowl adorned with an openwork lid finely decorated with foliate scrolls and beaded friezes. The rigor of the form, combined with the richness of the chasing and the use of gilt bronze, fully reflects the Empire style, in vogue during the reign of Napoleon I, inspired by Roman Antiquity.
