Hand or table brazier. Bronze. Spanish school, 17th century. A small brazier for use on a desk or dais, with circular legs, a polygonal shape, curved lines, and vase-like finials, reminiscent of Renaissance-era designs in some details. It includes a flat, twisted-handle spoon (called a "badila" in the case of braziers). These were often 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. This type is common in the Spanish school of the 17th century (and later), characterized by its composition of horizontal polygonal pieces separated by balustraded or column-like elements. Weight: 1200 grams.
