FAQs

Meiji period bronzes refer to metalwork sculptures created in Japan between 1868 and 1912, a time when Japanese artisans gained international renown for their mastery of lost-wax casting and intricate surface patination.

These pieces were typically cast using the lost-wax method in copper alloys, often referred to as bronze or shibuichi, and finished with chemical patination treatments to achieve deep brown, black, or metallic tones.

Authentic pieces often feature artist signatures or foundry seals cast into the base or hidden within the design, alongside meticulous chisel work, naturalistic anatomical detailing, and age-appropriate patination.

Place the sculpture as a focal point on a credenza, mantelpiece, or bookshelf, allowing neutral surrounding tones to highlight the dark metallic texture and sculptural form.

Maintain antique bronzes by dusting gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoiding abrasive cleaners, chemical polishes, or excessive moisture that can damage the original patina.
