Beautiful antique Chinese brass hand warmer, featuring a pierced circular lid and a sturdy swing handle. Traditionally used to hold charcoal or embers, these portable braziers provided gentle warmth during the colder months in Qing-era China. 1850-1912

This example measures approximately 8.5" in diameter and 9" tall including the handle (about 5" tall to the top of the warmer). Crafted from solid brass with a naturally aged patina, it shows the charming character of time — a rich, warm tone and light oxidation consistent with authentic age.

An elegant and functional piece of Chinese metalwork — perfect for collectors of Asian antiques, décor enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates handcrafted historical design.
