Large Japanese Bronze Lion

19th century
Description

An unusually large and fine quality Japanese Meiji period BRONZE LION. With great attention to its life-like detail, this is beautifully modelled and finely finished, typical of Japanese bronzes of the period. It features inlaid glass eyes and is signed underneath with a seal within the bronze. Very much in the style of Seiya, and possibly the artist is Obsyashi. 20ins long from nose to tail!

** The Meiji period extended from 1868 until 1912 and represents the period when Japan moved from an isolated feudal society to a modern industrial state. The highly skilled ‘Samurai’ sword makers turned to making beautiful bronze ornaments when the Samurai sword was banned apart from ceremonial use.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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.
