Large Japanese Bronze & Mixed Metal Plaque

19th century
Description

As part of our Japanese works of art collection we are delighted to offer this large Meiji period 1868-1912 bronze and mixed metal charger depicting a giant resting upon the top of Mount Fuji, the artist has skillfully captured a humorous portrayal of a giant character, possibly Hotei, his head resting upon his hand whilst gazing across the snow capped tip of Mount Fuji, apparently studying a pair of Manchurian Cranes flying into the distance, the high quality mixed metal character is set in relief upon the bronze panel, his gown and in particular his gold decorated cloak are rendered in fine detail throughout, the facial features and expressions including silver teeth and stubble give this giant character a restful and comical charm, the heavy panel is fitted with a wavy edged silver rim and houses a wire for hanging, a fine piece of Meiji period mixed metalwork to brighten up any wall space .

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.
