About the Item

Small brazier or hand-held brazier. Iron, bronze. Spanish school, 17th century. It has faults. Tabletop brazier raised on circular legs and composed of a container that retains a handle and a support for it formed by two polygonal metal plates joined by vertical elements of balustrade profile with discs, each of them finished in a conical shape with a pearl. Stylistically, it follows typical models of the Spanish school of the second half of the 16th century. Compare it with one held at the Fundació Mascort (Torroella de Montgrí, Girona, Spain), with one in the Metropolitan Museum of New York dated to the late 15th-early 16th century (inventory 65.221.2a, b) to see the influence of the earlier tradition, another in the National Museum of Decorative Arts in Madrid (inventory CE19561) dated to the second half of the 16th century, etc. They were commonly called hand braziers, referring to their use for warming scribes' hands in cold weather, but they were also used to heat wax for sealing wax, for example.
