The exceptional quality of the piercing and engraving make this antique incense bowl both rare and exceptional. This handsome Oajar Persian brass incense bowl is likely early 19th century or possibly older. The bowl features delicate piercing work and is crafted by an unidentified master coppersmith. The color of the bowl is lightly polished brass, creating a beautiful patina that heightens the brilliance of this craftsman’s exceptional skill.

From an old Upstate New York collection. 3.6 Diameter (base foot rim). 6.5 Diameter (top of bowl). The foot rim may have been resoldered.

Please review all pictures for overall condition and size, as this helps form the overall condition/description of the item. Wear is consistent with age and use. One has a few cracks, the other has one light crack, couple of small holes/chips from age. Both still have original iron clappers. Both measure 2.09 and both are marked JS and have a on each petal. Excellent design and a rare example of Joseph Shipman’s casting work. We believe these date to somewhere around the 1820s/1830s, hard to be exact. He died in 1859. We got these from a very old property in rural New Hampshire. Previous owner had them displayed on the wall on the wood/leather strap with a metal bar going through it. Please message us with any questions, we respond fast. Please allow up to 2/3 days for large items.
This listing is for a N. RARE Antique Bicycle Bell unique mould piece display. It is an excellent Early American Accessory, made in Connecticut USA circa 1887. It is on a folk art style plaque, which is inscribed, N. Hill Brass Co Bycicle Mold East Hampton Conn. I have not seen another quite like it. It is an excellent item for collectors of bicycle memorabilia / antiques, gifting, display/ decor, gifting, and much more! Perhaps they could be turned into some musical machine or sculpture as well that can actually play notes- the possibilities are endless! It is in great antique condition. It could be re-mounted on a more professional looking plaque, but the original has a certain charm to it. If that is the case- In a sense they are New old stock. I believe they are in fact a mould component due to the thickness of the center shaft connecting them, its a large amount of brass to waste every time you cast. They have a pleasing patina, I have not cleaned them at all to not disturb it. Cleaning is at buyers discretion. Thank you for your consideration, reasonable offers always considered. Comes as shown, please see photos for details and measurements.
