19th century
Description

A PAIR OF JAPANESE BRONZE JARDINIERES - EARLY MEIJII PERIOD (1868-1912)

A fine pair of 19th century Japanese jardinieres cast in bronze, using the "lost wax" method, which allows for their intricate detailing. Their exteriors featuring a rich, dark russet-coloured patina and gloss developed through aging.

Each piece is decorated in slightly different high relief designs of floral and botanical motifs. Flowering prunus (plum) branches wind around their globulae bodies. Featuring flared rims and sturdy circular bases, these vessels were typically used as planters or as central decorative "censor" bowls.

Similar items were produced during the late 19th-century Victorian era in Japan for both domestic use and export to Western markets. This pair has a wonderful rich patina and they are in fine condition

Each measures 14cm across the top and 12.5cm across the base, they are 13cm high

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 (18681912) bronze metalwork is characterised by exceptional technical precision, high-relief hand sculpting, and detailed depictions of flora and fauna following Japans opening to Western trade.

These vessels were typically produced using lost-wax casting methods, after which artisan metalworkers hand-chased and carved the relief details before applying chemical patination finishes.

Authentic pieces feature crisp relief detail, signs of hand-finishing or chasing, age-appropriate wear to the underside, substantial weight, and occasionally cast or incised maker marks.

Place bronze jardinieres on sideboards, mantelpieces, or consoles as decorative standalone sculptures, or display them holding dried floral arrangements to complement both modern and traditional schemes.

Dust regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoid liquid polish or abrasive cleaners that strip original patination, and apply a thin coat of clear microcrystalline wax annually to protect the surface.
