FAQs

Meiji period (18681912) Japanese metalwork is recognised for refined casting techniques, detailed relief carving, and dark patinated finishes, frequently incorporating motifs such as dragons, flowers, and animals like elephants.

These lamps were primarily cast from copper-alloy bronze, treated with protective oil or wax patination, and later adapted for electrical fitting using textile or pleated shades.

Authentic examples display sharp high-relief detail, substantial weight from hand-casting, natural age-related patination or oxidisation, and occasionally cast maker marks near the base.

A bronze table lamp serves as a sculptural accent when placed on a dark wood sideboard, library desk, or console table, contrasting against neutral walls and modern textiles.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, avoid liquid cleansers that damage the patination, and apply a light coat of clear microcrystalline wax annually to guard against oxidisation.
