Large Japanese Bronze Elephant and Tiger Okimono by Maruki Company

1900 - 1920
Description

As part of our Japanese works of art collection we are delighted to offer this fine quality Meiji period 1868-1912, Japanese bronze okimono of an elephant and tigers upon a beautiful burr wood base, the group is quite unusual in that the second tiger is not attached to the elephant, but rather a separate okimono in its own right, the artist Atsuyoshi has captured the large elephant stamping down on one tiger under his left foot whilst attempting to keep the other at bay, it looks like he might hopefully prevail on this occasion !! , the quality is as you would expect from the Maruki company who were renowned during the latter part of the Meiji period for high quality okimono in Bronze , ivory and other mixed media, Atsuyoshi was clearly a highly skilled and prolific artist working for the company at this time, the group is multi signed by the artist and bears the Maruki company seal.

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.
