About the Item

Originally $ 7,500.00 Turkish/ Arab Brass Brazier/ Mangal, comprised of 4 pieces The body is divided into two parts. The upper part a deep conical shape, designed to hold the ash-bowl, which is surrounded by a rim 15cm. 16cm. wide. This was used to rest the coffee jug, tongs, and such like implements, and to heat plates and bowls. The lower part was bell-shaped and was pinned to the upper part from within, with five broad pins or rivets, or with one large brass stay, and the joint was held fast by a copper band 15-20 cm. wide, which also covered it. To lift the brazier, two lugs were fitted to the upper part of the body, below the ash-bowl. These were articulated brass lugs, and there were also two articulated brass lugs on either side of the bowl, which had a conical cover, pierced to allow enough air to kindle the fire slowly. This had a bird shaped finial nob at the apex of the cover, and two fixed lugs on either side. The brazier rests on a circular copper tray, slightly setted, and stamped in the centre with the word 'nuhas', (Arabic: copper). Trays such as this which were made especially for the brazier are quite difficult to find, and a plain copper tray may very often substitute for it. Brass was very rarely used for the mansion brazier, and even when used, the vessel was called the 'copper type brass brazier'. Sometimes lobed, cast-brass tri-footed bases replaced the conical copper foot. The ash bowl was generally rounded and shorter in this version. Smaller braziers of this type were made in great quantities, the smallest measuring 25-30 cm. These were known as portable braziers or 'outdoor' braziers-cayir mangali, and were used to warm food, grill meat, or pop-corn oft of doors.
