FAQs

Meiji period Japanese bronzes refer to metalwork pieces created between 1868 and 1912, a time when Japanese metalworkers gained international acclaim for their technical mastery and realistic animal sculptures following the opening of trade with the West.

These pieces were typically crafted using the lost-wax casting technique, allowing for intricate detail, and utilised high-grade copper alloys treated with chemical patination to achieve deep brown or black colour variations.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit hand-finished chisel marks, naturalistic patination showing age-appropriate wear, and often feature signature plaques or foundry marks cast into the base.

An antique bronze can be placed on a bookshelf, mantelpiece, or console table as a focal point, pairing well with neutral tones, natural wood finishes, and minimalist styling to highlight its craftsmanship.

Antique bronze should be dusted gently with a soft microfibre cloth and occasionally treated with microcrystalline wax to protect the patina, avoiding all water, harsh chemicals, or abrasive polishing.
