FAQs

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid applying polishes or chemical cleaners that can damage the historical patina.

Position the sculpture as a focal point on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or side table to add a touch of historic craftsmanship and sculptural form to contemporary spaces.

Authentic items often feature artist signatures or foundry seals, refined hand-chiselling on feather details, and natural patination consistent with age.

These pieces were typically cast using the lost-wax method in bronze or shibuichi, often featuring hand-chased details and chemical patination to achieve deep, varied tones.

Japanese bronze casting has a long tradition, particularly flourishing during the Meiji period (18681912) when master metalworkers created intricate wildlife sculptures for both domestic and international markets.
