Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

FAQs

The Meiji period (18681912) in Japan marked a golden age for metalwork, where master craftsmen produced intricate bronze lanterns and sculptures for temples, shrines, and international export exhibitions.

These pieces were typically cast in bronze using traditional lost-wax or sectional casting techniques, often featuring hand-chased details, relief carvings, and patinated finishes.

Authentic items generally exhibit deep, stable patination, precise hand-finished details, precise casting seams consistent with period technology, and occasionally maker marks or signatures on the base.

Such statement artifacts work effectively as focal points in minimalist or eclectic spaces, placed on sturdy low surfaces or designated floor areas where their sculptural silhouette and texture can be fully appreciated.

Preservation requires dusting gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding all chemical polishes, abrasive cleaners, or moisture to protect the historic surface patina.
