About this work

The round braziers are equipped with a brass inner bowl (missing in A) and stand on three cast legs resting on ebony, profiled blocks. The legs are composed of three C-scrolls, of which the middle one, which widens slightly, is slightly tapered and decorated with a border of pearls increasing in size, while the lower and upper ones widen towards a thickened, scroll-like end. The vaulted wall of the brazier rests with its straight lower edge on the three middle scrolls of the legs. The profiled upper rim is connected to the upper side of these scrolls. The lower and upper rims are decorated with a pearl border. Between them, the wall is pierced with ovals, which are connected to the upper and lower rims by small circles and to each other by smaller ovals. The middle scrolls of the legs form lips on the underside, upon which the bowl-shaped inner bowl with a flat rim rests.
