Brass Censer with Chains – 24 cm

This 24 cm high brass censer is a traditionally designed church censer for burning pure frankincense and frankincense blends over charcoal. The ornate vessel has an openwork lid and is held and moved by long chains.

Its design corresponds to the traditional type of censer associated with Christian and liturgical use. The numerous openings in the vessel and lid provide the necessary airflow to the glowing charcoal and allow the frankincense smoke to escape during use.

Traditional burning of frankincense

For use, glowing incense charcoal is placed inside the censer. Small amounts of pure frankincense or a frankincense blend are then placed on the charcoal. The heat from the charcoal burns the resins, while the resulting fragrance and smoke escape through the openings in the vessel.

The long chains allow the censer to be held and gently swung during incense burning. This method of burning incense is particularly associated with church services and liturgical ceremonies, where frankincense is traditionally burned in a censer.

Instructions for safe use

The glowing charcoal can cause the censer to become very hot during use. Hold it by the chains provided and avoid direct contact with the heated vessel. Never leave glowing incense charcoal unattended.

After burning incense, the censer should preferably remain suspended from a stable hook or suitable support until both the charcoal and the vessel have completely cooled. If placed on a surface, the weight of the long chains may unbalance the censer and cause it to tip over.
