FAQs

A koro is a traditional Japanese incense burner utilised in tea ceremonies and domestic spaces, frequently cast in bronze or brass.

Craftspeople employed lost-wax casting and intricate chiselling methods, often finishing the metal with chemical patination to achieve deep brown or black tones.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-chased surface details, naturalistic proportions, and a stable, aged patina developed over decades of oxidation.

Position the piece as a focal point on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or sideboard to introduce sculptural form and historical texture to contemporary rooms.

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid chemical polishes or water, which can strip the historical patina and damage the metal surface.
