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

In Japanese culture, incense burners, known as koro, have been used for centuries in religious ceremonies, tea rituals, and domestic settings to burn fragrant woods and incense.

These objects are typically lost-wax cast from bronze or brass, featuring detailed hand-finishing, engraving, and patination achieved through controlled oxidation.

Authentic pieces from the early 20th century exhibit hand-cast construction details, natural wear to the base, proper weight consistent with solid metal, and period-appropriate motifs.

Position the piece on a sideboard, bookshelf, or mantelpiece where its distinct silhouette can be highlighted against a neutral background.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical polishes that can strip the original patination or surface wax.
