Description

AN EARLY ISLAMIC BRONZE INCENSE BURNER OR OIL LAMP, SYRIA OR EGYPT, 10TH-12TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

The rectangular body supported on three applied feet and set with three prominent straight spouts in a fork-like arrangement. The flat top bearing two hinge fittings and pierced with a four-petaled floral emblem. A ridged ring-shaped handle is affixed to the back, above a petal-shaped thumbpiece with subtle decorative incisions. The bronze with a fine, naturally grown dark patina.

Provenance: Galerie Hardt (established in 1976), Radevormwald, Germany, before 2020. Acquired by the gallery’s founder Peter Hardt (b. 1946) during his extensive travels in Asia, the first of which occurred during a formative world tour in 1973. Throughout his storied career, Peter Kienzle-Hardt organized countless exhibitions and participated in major international art fairs. He made many important contacts during this time and eventually met the Kienzle siblings, who shared his passion for Asian art and culture. A strong bond and deep friendship developed, ultimately leading to the creation of the Museum für Asiatische Kunst decades later in 2014. While the museum’s permanent exhibition predominantly comprised pieces from the Kienzle Family Collection, Peter Kienzle-Hardt supplemented it with objects from his own collection. Before his death in 2019, Horst Kienzle bequeathed his entire property to Peter and legally adopted him as his son, who has been using the name Peter Kienzle-Hardt ever since.
Labels: Galerie Hardt, priced at EUR 1,250.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age, with expected old wear, casting irregularities, traces of use, encrustations, scattered minute nicks and small surface scratches, few minor dents, the cover and part of the back lost.

Weight: 843 g
Dimensions: Length 22.4 cm

Many oil lamps from this period with openworked decoration as the present example were also often used as incense burners, and some were designed to function as both at the same time, as both light and scented smoke could find their way out through the pierced motifs. See Sabiha Al Khemir, Nur: Light in Art and Science from the Islamic World, Focus-Abengoa Foundation, 2014.
