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.

This Japanese Meiji period sculpture from the late 19th century comprises a silvered bronze model of a goshawk mounted upon a carved wooden tree stump base. The alert bird exhibits detailed chased feather texturing, a dark beak, and gilt eyes with dark pupils, while the dark brown timber base displays intricate high-relief floral carvings and blossoming hydrangea heads. The entire display stands 66 cm high, 38 cm wide, and 28 cm deep overall. Placed atop a sideboard in a gentleman's library or a study, this two-part decorative object brings naturalistic form and contrasting metallic and wooden textures to an interior surface.

FAQs

An okimono is a decorative display ornament produced during the Meiji period (18681912) in Japan, created primarily for display in traditional domestic alcoves and for export to Western markets.

Craftsmen utilised lost-wax casting methods to form the bronze body, followed by intricate hand-chasing to render feather details, finishing with silver electroplating or mercury-gilding techniques.

Authentic pieces feature crisp hand-chased surface details, realistic naturalistic modelling, appropriate age-related oxidisation, and occasionally cast or incised artist signatures on the base.

Position the sculpture as a focal point on a dark timber sideboard, within a curated bookshelf display, or atop a fireplace mantelpiece alongside contemporary architectural accents.

Dust gently using a dry microfibre cloth, avoid abrasive liquid cleaners that strip original patination, and display away from direct heat sources to prevent the wood base from splitting.
