This Japanese Meiji period decorative object comprises a dark brown patinated bronze stand modelled as stylised ocean waves with tiered supports and integrated bird motifs, holding three clear quartz crystal balls of varying sizes at different elevations. The metalwork shows intricate openwork wave crests forming a complex asymmetrical branch structure, with two small birds perched on the lower sections and curved prongs securing each of the three transparent spheres. Measuring 11.5 cm high, 9.5 cm wide and 6.5 cm deep, this piece makes a refined addition to a gentleman's library. It sits comfortably upon a sideboard top as a striking focal point, bringing a sense of traditional craftsmanship and symbolic energy alignments to an interior display.

FAQs

Meiji period (18681912) Japanese metalwork is renowned for its cast techniques, intricate naturalistic motifs such as waves and mythical creatures, and exceptional hand-chased detailing crafted for both domestic use and international export.

These objects were traditionally cast using the lost-wax process to create complex openwork forms, followed by hand-carving or chasing to refine detail, and chemical patination to achieve deep brown tone finishes.

Authentic Meiji bronzes exhibit sharp hand-finished execution, balanced weight, age-appropriate surface patination with wear in recessed areas, and occasionally cast or incised signatures from historic workshops.

Position the sculpture on a tabletop, sideboard, or shelving unit where ambient light can pass through the crystal spheres, creating contrast against neutral backdrops or dark wood furniture.

Dust the bronze framework gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or natural bristle brush without applying chemical polishes; wipe crystal spheres clean using a slightly damp lint-free cloth and dry thoroughly.
