(diameter of the brazier) Source: Church of San Martino at Argiano The thurible, an elegant example of Florentine late Baroque silverware, is dated 1775, as we can see from the inscription of the edge of the upper part: "SOC. B.M.V. ANNTAE S. MARTINI F. 1775", which also documents its provenance from the Company of the Annunziata, next door to the Church of San Martino at Argiano. The circular and stepped foot holds the cup of the brazier divided by simple bean-motifs. The central body of the thurible is decorated with elegant perforations and simple embossed spiral and shell patterns. The chains are attached to a smooth surfaced lid topped with a large round ring. The same ornamental motifs can be found repeated on the navicule, the thurible's "pendant" where, under the base, we can still read the punched trade mark "G.C." and "N.G:", beside the image of a lion passant. back print
