Japanese Meiji Bronze
An antique late 19th-century Japanese Meiji period patinated bronze figural display stand modeled with a rearing serpent, tripod frogs, and foliate branches.
- Naturalistic Meiji Allegory: The vertical central column forms a finely textured, rearing scaled serpent with an open jaw, flanked symmetrically by two stylized foliate branching arms.
- Tripod Frog Base: Rests on an ornate pierced circular pedestal supported by three splayed webbed frogs and scrolling acanthus feet, offering exceptional sculptural stability.
- Historical Function & Display: Originally designed as an ornamental pocket watch stand (porte-montre) or desk suspension stand, suitable for displaying a timepiece, medallion, or decorative talisman.
- Aged Patina: Features an authentic dark bronze surface with subtle verdigris and oxidized green tones nestled in the recessed chasing.
