Description
Hand warmer. European decorative arts, 18th century.
Gilt bronze. Dimensions: 12 cm x 15 cm x 28 cm. This elegant hand warmer consists of a semi-spherical bowl set upon a moulded base and fitted with a long, slightly curved handle for ease of use. The metal surface has a smooth, polished finish, enhanced by the warm gilded hue, which lends refinement and visual presence. The balanced form and understated ornamentation reflect a utilitarian design typical of the 18th century, where functionality is combined with refined aesthetics. The piece demonstrates solid technical execution, with skilful metalwork and a uniform finish, reflecting the European artisanal tradition of the period. This object belongs to the realm of decorative arts and is a significant testament to domestic uses and the taste for elegant, well-proportioned objects of the 18th century.
