FAQs

Japanese bronze censers, known as koro, have a long history rooted in Buddhist rituals and the traditional art of incense appreciation, becoming highly refined during the Meiji period.

These pieces are traditionally crafted using lost-wax casting in bronze, often featuring detailed patination and hand-finished sculptural elements.

Authentic pieces from the Meiji era typically exhibit natural weight, traditional foundry marks or signatures, and age-consistent patination rather than uniform modern finishes.

An antique bronze censer makes a striking focal point when styled on a bookshelf, mantelpiece, or coffee table, adding textural contrast to contemporary schemes.

Preserve antique bronze by dusting gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding chemical cleaners or polishes that can strip the historic patina.
