Enchanting Japanese Bronze Owl Okimono

1900 - 1920
Description

As part of our Japanese works of art collection we are delighted to offer this most enchanting Meiji Period (1868-1912), bronze okimono depicting a long eared owl upon a rootwood branch, the unknown artist has captured the majestic bird in very fine lifelike detail, the featherwork particularly well carved. The delightful little owl rests upon a highly polished gnarled wood base, its large multi coloured eyes conrast against the bronze body, the birds long ears pricked up and fully alert to its suroundings. A really charming and increasingly rare little okimono that would bring great joy to your household, or as a fine addition to your existing Japanese metalwork or okimono collection.

Literature :

Owls are highly revered in Japanese culture, they are seen as symbols of wisdom and fortune, their Japanese name "Fukuro" literally means without hardship/ good luck .

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
