FAQs

Meiji period metalwork refers to decorative and sculptural items produced in Japan between 1868 and 1912, characterised by advanced casting techniques, intricate surface detailing, and a blending of traditional samurai craftsmanship with Western influences.

These sculptures were typically created using the lost-wax casting method with copper-alloy bronzes, often finished with chemical patination, silver plating, or inlay work to achieve nuanced metallic tones and textures.

Authentic pieces usually feature meticulous hand-chased surface details, naturalistic proportions, appropriate patination showing age, and frequently bear makers marks or signatures cast into the base or underside.

A metallic animal sculpture can be displayed as a focal point on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or side table, pairing well with minimalist surroundings or rich textures like dark wood and leather to add a touch of historical craftsmanship.

Bronze and silvered metal should be dusted gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, abrasives, or moisture that can damage the delicate patination and historical finish.
