?Luxurious little perfume burner in diorite and gilded bronze.
Rare model with a cylindrical shaft surrounded by gilded bronze acting as a reservoir for the fuel, on the edge rests a dolphin's head whose leafy tail ends in a winding act as a suspension.
A small basin meticulously circled in bronze has the function of collecting incense, it is suspended by three chains according to the system of ancient scales.
Beautiful gilding with a matt and shiny double patina.
Great quality of carving despite a miniature decor.
Superb lapidary work with a very bright polish and a very fine grain stone.
Perfect state of conservation.
Austrian work, Vienna Empire period around 1810.
