Over 150 years ago someone used this beautiful pewter censer to burn incense, possibly in a ritual to honor their ancestors, or to purify the air. Made by a skilled artisan from China’s Shanxi Province, this censer has whimsical designs carved into the surface: smiling fu dog handles, and phoenixes, which are the Chinese symbol of virtue and grace.

Andrea Goldman | Andrea Goldman Design

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
