FAQs

The Meiji period (18681912) marked a golden age for Japanese metalwork, transitioning from samurai sword fittings to intricate decorative bronzes created for international export and domestic display.

These sculptures were typically cast using the traditional lost-wax method, employing high-grade copper and bronze alloys, often finished with chemical patination to achieve rich colour variations.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-chased surface detailing, naturalistic anatomical proportions, subtle patination, and often bear a makers signature or foundry mark cast into the base.

Position the piece on a polished wooden console, mantelpiece, or bookshelf where its texture and metallic patina can serve as a sophisticated focal point.

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid chemical cleaners or polishes, which can strip the historic patina and damage the metal surface.
