Vantine's Incense Burner

Another astounding antique find recently, this late 20's or early 1930’s “Egyptian Revival” Art Deco era figural incense burner made in France by Vantine's, who also signed the bottom of the base (see the last image below.) Forged in a lovely shade of green metal, and full of stunning detail, especially the long, flowing cloth covering the lower half of her jade-like, goddess body. I am unfortunately missing the cap on top of the burner pot (which seems to be the norm if you Google this particular piece), but I have seen pictures of it and I believe I can recreate one. Stay tuned...
