The Meiji period (1868-1912) marked a monumental shift in Japanese metalwork, as traditional armor and sword-fitting craftsmen redirected their sophisticated lost-wax casting skills towards international export markets and domestic decorative sculptures.

Artisans typically utilised traditional copper alloys, often referred to as bronze or brass, shaped via the lost-wax (cire perdue) casting method and finished with chemical patination techniques to achieve deep, rich surface tones.

Authentic pieces frequently feature artist signatures or foundry marks either cast directly into the metal or incised on the underside, coupled with natural age-related patination, crisp anatomical detailing, and substantial weight.

An antique bronze can be placed on a bookshelf, desk, or mantelpiece to provide textural contrast and a sense of history against clean, contemporary lines and neutral architectural backgrounds.

Preserve bronze by dusting gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding chemical cleaners, moisture, or abrasive polishes that can strip the historic patina and damage the metal surface.
