Up for auction is a striking antique Neoclassical tripod incense burner. This piece features a unique three-legged design adorned with highly detailed rams' heads at the top of each support. The central urn has a classic fluted texture and a deep bowl perfect for holding incense or serving as a decorative catch-all. The item stands approximately 9 inches tall and measures about 4 inches wide at the top. It is constructed from a heavy cast metal and finished with a dark, aged patina that shows hints of verdigris and gold-tone wear, giving it a true excavated or ancient appearance. This is a Neoclassical style tripod incense burner or censer, likely crafted from cast metal such as spelter or bronze with a heavy verdigris or cold-painted patina. The design features three slender legs topped with figural rams' heads, a classic motif often associated with the Regency, Empire, or Victorian eras. The central vessel is fluted, resting on a decorative spindle that terminates in a triangular base.
