This 19th century hand-crafted bronze hand warmer would have been owned by a woman of means and filled with coals so she could warm her hands on cold winter nights. The top is beautifully pierced with a Chrysanthemum design. Coming into bloom in the fall, chrysanthemums provided a shock of vibrant beauty as most flowers were going dormant for the winter. Because of this, they are popular symbols in Chinese art and culture referencing autumn and endurance.
