Incense burner with floral pattern 17th-18th century China This incense burner is an unusual example of how Chinese works were sometimes modified when they came to Europe. The censors form is a typical Chinese archaistic reinterpretation of an ancient food vessel, but its decoration—Chinese tree peonies in a landscape setting—was most likely chased from the vessels original surface by a European metalsmith. A mark on the base (“ALPH GIROUX PARIS”) reveals that the vessel was once in the collection of Alphonse Giroux (1775/76-1848), a French dealer in luxury goods. It is most likely that the cold-work surface decoration was added in his workshop, reflecting the hybrid nature of Chinoiserie in eighteenth-century Europe.. Incense burner with floral pattern. China. 17th-18th century. Copper alloy with parcel-gilding. Metalwork
