REQUEST INFORMATION
This masterfully crafted brûle parfum was conceived on a tripod base made of green marble. On this base, a round "incense bowl" is supported by a central bar and three curved, florally decorated outer supports, each ending in a squatting griffin. The bowl tapers into a short neck decorated with openwork acanthus foliage with a lid crowned by a pine cone. Female trumpet players on the outer rim of the bowl, their legs ending in acanthus leaves, lead over to the floral design of the three lateral supports.
The trumpets originally held in the hands have been lost.
The model for this extremely high quality incense burner is traditionally attributed to the workshop of Pierre-Philippe Thomire, Paris, and was made towards the end of Louis XVI's reign, around 1785.

Delevery information :
The place of performance for all contractual claims is the Seller's place of business (Greding). This shall also apply if the seller sends the goods to another destination at the customer's request (sale by delivery to a place other than the place of performance). If the seller is also responsible for the assembly or installation of the goods at the customer's premises, the place of performance shall be the place of assembly or installation of the goods.
The costs of shipment shall be borne by the customer. The goods shall be shipped to the delivery address specified by the customer. The seller shall not be obliged to ship the goods abroad unless otherwise agreed.
If the customer trades as an entrepreneur and if, at the customer's request, the seller ships the goods to a destination other than the place of performance, the risk of accidental loss of the goods shall pass to the customer as soon as the seller has delivered the goods to the carrier or to the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment. The seller retains his claim to payment of the purchase price.
If the customer is acting as a consumer and if, at the customer's request, the seller ships the goods to a destination other than the place of performance, the risk of accidental loss of the goods shall only pass to the customer upon delivery of the goods to the carrier or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment if the customer has commissioned the carrier, the freight forwarder or the person or institution otherwise designated to carry out the shipment to carry out the shipment and the seller has not previously named this person or institution to the customer. The seller retains his claim to payment of the purchase price.
If the delivery of the goods fails for reasons for which the customer is responsible, the customer shall bear the reasonable costs incurred by the seller as a result. This shall not apply with regard to the costs for the return shipment if the customer effectively exercises his right of revocation. In the event of effective exercise of the right of revocation by the customer, the provision made in the seller's revocation instructions shall apply to the return costs.
In the case of self-collection, the Seller shall first inform the customer that the goods ordered by him are ready for collection. The customer may then collect the goods from the seller's registered office by arrangement with the seller. In this case, no shipping costs will be charged.
