A Large and Impressive Japanese Meiji Period Bronze Censer

This large and highly detailed Japanese Bronze censer stands on a circular double scalloped base with three mask head and clawed feet. The bulbous body has a finely cast and hand chased continuous scene of multiple exotic peacocks in various sizes and positions amongst a background of trees, foliage and flowers. The neck has a matching scalloped rim with a cast and pierced collar below. The lift off lid has the same rim and its domed top is cast with swirling waves with a large raised dragon finale. This most exotic and decorative censer is heavily cast in solid bronze and has a dark brown patination. On the underside, there is a cast seal signature relating to the manufacturing company and artist.

In excellent condition, the Meiji period, circa 1900.

Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.

Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.
