Embossed brass food warmer, late 17th century
Period: 17th century
Price: € 1.400
Antique brass food warmer, handcrafted and embossed, characterized by an elegant and refined style. It features a round body supported by a ring foot, a lid with a handle, and two handles for easy grip. The decoration, made with the embossing technique, embellishes the neck and body of the object with vegetal festoons, which enhance its aesthetics. The lid, which has small holes to allow the escape of hot steam, is also adorned with embossing depicting spirals and vegetal racemes. In the past, embers were placed inside the food warmer, while food to be kept warm was placed on top; the object could also be used as a foot warmer or hand warmer. Today, this object of great antiquity and taste can also be used as a centerpiece or flower holder, by removing the lid. It is attributed to a Tuscan manufacture from the late 17th century.
