Ceremonial, elegant, and beautifully traditional — the Hanging Brass Burner is the most classically beautiful incense burner in our range, carrying centuries of sacred ritual tradition.
The hanging brass burner — suspended by its chain, swaying gently as it's carried through space — is one of the oldest forms of ritual incense burning in human history. From Catholic thuribles to Islamic mabkhara to Hindu dhoop holders, the hanging incense burner has served humanity's need to fill sacred space with blessed fragrance for thousands of years. Our Hanging Brass Burner honours this extraordinary tradition in the finest brass form.

What Makes It Special
The hanging format transforms incense burning into something genuinely ceremonial. The gentle swinging motion distributes fragrance more widely than a stationary burner, the chain allows it to be carried through any space, and the sound of the chains adds an auditory dimension to the ritual. It's incense burning as pure ceremony.

How to Use
Light a charcoal disc in the bowl, allow to fully ignite, add resin or loose incense. Hang from a ceiling hook, carry by the chain, or gently swing through a space to distribute fragrance. Frankincense, Myrrh, and sacred resin blends are the most traditionally appropriate companions.
Safety Notes
The brass becomes very hot — hold only by the chain, never by the bowl. Ensure the chain is securely fastened before swinging. Never swing near people, objects, or flammable materials. Hang from secure fixtures only. Never leave unattended while burning.
