FAQs

The Meiji period spans from 1868 to 1912 in Japan, a time when Japanese metalworkers achieved international renown for masterworks in bronze, iron, and mixed metals.

These sculptures were typically cast using the lost-wax method, followed by detailed hand-chasing, patination, and sometimes inlay with other metals such as gold, silver, or copper.

Authentic pieces often feature fine, crisp chisel work, subtle variations in the chemical patination, and occasionally artist signatures or foundry marks on the underside.

Bronze figurines add a touch of historic craftsmanship and warmth when displayed as focal points on a mantelpiece, a bookshelf, or a side table amongst contemporary decor.

Antique bronze should be dusted gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using commercial metal polishes, as they can strip the historic patina and reduce the value of the piece.
