FAQs

A Japanese carved wood tiger sculpture is a decorative figurine handcrafted from hardwood, often dating from the late 19th-century Meiji period, depicting a tiger in a naturalistic pose.

These figures are typically hand-carved from dense local hardwoods such as boxwood or camphor wood, often featuring inlaid glass eyes and meticulously carved surface detailing to represent fur and muscular anatomy.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit hand-cut tool marks, natural ageing of the timber such as patination and shrinkage cracks, and traditional joining or mounting methods consistent with late 19th-century craftsmanship.

This object can be placed on a bookshelf, mantelpiece, or desk to add texture and character, pairing well with both minimalist modern decor and traditional study settings.

Maintain the wood by keeping it out of direct sunlight, avoiding excessive humidity changes, and dusting periodically with a soft, dry cloth without using chemical polishes.
