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.

Produced during the Meiji era between 1868 and 1912, these bronze vessels represent a period of refined artistic metalwork in Japan, featuring complex cast and chased decoration depicting flora, fauna, and mythological creatures.

Craftsmen utilised lost-wax casting methods, followed by hand-chasing and engraving to refine high-relief details, before applying patination using chemical treatments to achieve dark brown tones.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit substantial weight, crisp high-relief moulding, hand-finished chasing, natural wear on the base rim, and occasionally a maker mark cast into the base.

Position them symmetrically on a sideboard, console table, or within deep wall alcoves to create visual balance and introduce rich texture to modern or traditional schemes.

Dust regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a thin layer of clear microcrystalline wax annually to protect the original patination from oxidisation, avoiding chemical solvents.
