CHINESE ARCHAISTIC BRONZE SQUARE CENSER L. 13.5 cm. W. 8 cm. H. 8 cm. Weight 1090 grams. A Chinese archaistic bronze square censer, measuring 13.5 cm in length, 8 cm in width, 8 cm in height, and weighing 1090 grams. Cast in a robust rectangular form with tapering sides, it features two openwork rectangular handles and four short feet, echoing the design of ancient ritual bronze vessels. The surface is covered in a rich, uneven patina of verdigris and earthy brown tones, a testament to its age and historical use. The simple, dignified form and natural patina reflect the refined taste of Ming or Qing dynasty scholar’s desk accessories, embodying the enduring reverence for archaic bronze aesthetics in Chinese decorative art.
