Filled with burning coals, this petite 19th-century brass brazier once warmed the hands of a well-to-do person on a cold winter's night in northern China. The round brazier is crafted of white brass with a hinged handle and a lid pierced with an intricate chrysanthemum pattern, a symbol of longevity and autumn. A keepsake from a bygone era, this fine brazier retains a quiet elegance and looks lovely accenting a bookcase or console table.
