How are these bronzes cleaned?

Dusting with a soft, dry brush is sufficient for maintenance. Moisture and harsh cleaning agents will damage the historic patina.

An okimono is a decorative Japanese carving meant for interior display. They frequently depict naturalistic subjects or folklore figures.

How do I date a bronze?

Dating relies on stylistic markers, casting techniques and foundry marks. Meiji period works often feature specific signatures or distinct patination.

Where were these pieces displayed?

Asian sculptures were placed in temples, scholar's studios and gardens. Smaller objects rested on desks alongside writing implements and seals.
