About the Item
A Pair of Opulent Sterling Silver-Gilt 925 Camel Incense Burners on Giltwood Stands, Circa 1900
Masterfully crafted, these pieces epitomize the grandeur and sophistication of the period, adorned with sumptuous silver-gilt that captures the majestic essence of the camels.
In Middle Eastern culture, camels hold profound significance as symbols of endurance, grace, and nobility. Revered for their role in traversing vast deserts, camels are often associated with prosperity and travel. The artistry of these burners pays homage to their esteemed place in tradition, rendering them with intricate detailing and an air of regal elegance.
Each camel is elegantly mounted on its original giltwood stand that enhance the opulence of the piece. The burners are designed not just as functional objects but as exquisite works of art, reflecting the cultural practice of incense burning—a ritual deeply ingrained in many cultures for its spiritual and purifying qualities. The act of burning incense symbolizes the elevation of the soul and the sanctification of space, resonating with a sense of tranquility and refinement.
The incense is cleverly placed inside the camels, allowing fragrant aromas to emerge gracefully through their mouths.
This pair of silver-gilt camel incense burners stands as a testament to both artistic excellence and cultural heritage. Their combination of lavish craftsmanship and symbolic significance makes them a remarkable addition to any distinguished collection, offering a touch of timeless elegance and historical depth.
Marked 925 on the bottom of the camel.

Rare Meissen Marcolini Porcelain Chinoiserie Incense Burner Vase and Cover
By Meissen Porcelain
Located in New York, NY
A rare Meissen Marcolini Porcelain Chinoiserie incense burner vase and cover, made for the Chinese market, circa 1800, blue cross swords and star mark, Pressnummer 58
A Museum Quality Piece.
Painted in the sought after famille rose palette with sprigs of indianische Blumen and enriched in gilding, the simulated pierced body supported by four feet painted with stylized dragons, the pierced cover with a Buddhist lion finial.
10" high x 6" wide x 6" deep
The shape of this piece, which appears to be unrecorded in the literature, is inspired by similar Chinese porcelain censers from the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi Period (1654-1722). An example in the Palace Museum, Beijing, is illustrated by Li Yi-hua in Qing Porcelain of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong Periods from the Palace Museum Collection, Hong Kong, 1989, pl. 65. Another in the British Museum, London (museum no. PDF, A.812) is catalogued as a perfume-holder.
These porcelain examples are in turn inspired by ancient Chinese bronzes from both the Shang (1600-1046 BC) and the Zhou (1046-246 BCE) dynasties, an example of which was sold anonymously by Christie's New York, 22 March 2019, lot 1601. This chain of inspiration tracking backwards from the 19th century to antiquity provides a clear example of how ceramics, and indeed other mediums, are able to influence and motivate the works of later generations.
