EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chromolithograph depicts a Brule-parfum, or perfume heater, from Tervueren, Belgium, dating back to the 18th century. The heater is intricately decorated with botanical paintings and sculpted roses, adding to its elegant and refined appearance. The use of botanical motifs was a popular trend during this period, reflecting the growing interest in natural sciences and the beauty of the natural world. The heater's body is made of white porcelain, while the lid is adorned with intricate moldings that mimic the texture of marble. The roses, carefully sculpted in relief, add a touch of sophistication and charm to the piece. The lid also features a decorative opening for the insertion of a perfume-soaked wick, which would be heated to release the fragrance into the room. This hand-finished chromolithograph is an accurate representation of the Brule-parfum from Tervueren, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail that characterized the porcelain and pottery produced in Belgium during the 18th century. The image is taken from Ris Paquots "General History of Ancient French and Foreign Glazed Pottery," published in Paris in 1874. The Brule-parfum was not only a functional object but also a status symbol, representing wealth and luxury in the homes of the aristocracy.
