Big up to our buying department for sourcing this incredible piece - a Chinese Qing dynasty bronze tea urn (or samovar). This is exactly the type of piece we love here at Canonbury Antiques - totally unique, characterful, well crafted, old and an absolute conversation starter. The quality to the casting is superb with a great - circa 1880 - patina. Of course the two dragons naturally steal attention, particularly as one is the spout. Look at the intricate relief work with all the designs and Chinese motifs. Afternoon tea suddenly headed East.
Can you believe it there's an gilt French mantle clock by Linke below? How about a large bronze pixie fishing whilst seated on a toadstool? Someone call elph and safety.... Have a great weekend :)
