Questions About Antique Incense
  • How do I use an antique incense burner?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    All incense burners work roughly the same, whether antique or contemporary. Usually the incense is placed inside the burner and lit, then a lid may be lowered, if there is one. The smoke will then filter out through holes in the lid. Shop a range of antique and modern incense burners on 1stDibs.
