CHINA, LATE MING PERIOD, EARLY QING PERIOD Rare tripod incense burner (xianglu) Made of two-tone bronze with a black patina on the background and gilded bronze relief decoration, this piece is of exceptionally high craftsmanship. It features gilded cartouches separated by taotie masks—the mythical protective creature with bulging eyes characteristic of ancient ritual bronzes. The cartouches depict naturalistic scenes: cranes in flight amid peonies and perforated rocks. The neck is adorned with a frieze engraved with floral scrolls. The vessel rests on three legs characteristic of ritual incense burners. Dimensions: 10.5 x 14.5 cm The exceptionally high quality of this piece’s craftsmanship suggests it was produced in workshops that supplied altars for the imperial court. Traceability: Cabinet Portier, Paris Provenance: Guillaud Lombardo Collection
