The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Meiji period metalwork (18681912) is characterised by exceptional metallurgy, detailed relief casting, and intricate patination techniques developed after samurai sword production was restricted, leading metal artisans to create decorative export wares.

Craftsmen used cast bronze, copper, and mixed metal alloys such as shakudo (gold-copper alloy) and shibuichi (silver-copper alloy) to achieve distinct colour contrasts and textured patinas.

Authentic pieces feature heavy lost-wax or sand casting, hand-chased surface details, authentic chemical patination wear, and occasionally maker seal marks or signatures cast into the base.

A symmetrical pair can be positioned at either end of a dark wood sideboard or fireplace mantelpiece, contrasting well against stone surfaces or neutral backdrops.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft cloth and avoid abrasive polishes, liquid cleaners, or water, which can strip the original patination and cause uneven oxidisation.
