A quite wonderful and evocative signed antique Tsuba - Japanese sword hand guard often circular, sometimes square, which emerged as an essential part of Japanese sword craftsmanship during the Heian period (794–1185). Initially crafted from iron or bronze, over time they became more decorative in nature and more for show as the waring Samurai clans disbanded and became part of Japan's past. The particular Tsuba features a Oni Demon design. Oni are fearsome, ogre-like demons or trolls from Japanese folklore, known for their monstrous appearance, immense strength, and cruel nature but conversely and somewhat contradictorily they can also symbolize good fortune, representing the duality of evil and protection in Japanese culture and sometimes serve as guardians against evil. The piece is likely from the late Edo Period (1603-1868) or early Meiji Period (1868-1912). It is signed on the verso/backside. This Tsuba has a great feel and heft to it. Would be a great addition to any Tsuba or Japanese Asian sword...

Antique Indo-Persian Tinned Copper Jar Hand-Engraved Islamic Metalwork, c. 1900 A striking example of early 20th-century Indo-Persian artistry, this antique lidded jar is handcrafted from heavy tinned copper in the traditional Ghalamzani style—an ancient Persian technique of fine metal engraving. The bulbous body, slender neck, and flared lid are richly decorated with intricate floral, geometric, and arabesque motifs, along with medallions featuring musicians and couples, evoking Mughal and Islamic influences. The surface is intricately decorated with detailed floral, geometric, and calligraphic motifs, reflecting deep influences from Mughal design and Islamic decorative arts. The embossed and incised patterns shimmer over the darkened silver-toned tinned finish, catching the light with elegant shadows and reflections. The dark patina enhances the silver-toned tin finish, lending depth and contrast to the detailed repoussé and chased designs. A rare and refined collector’s piece, this jar captures the elegance and spiritual symbolism of Islamic decorative arts. Design Highlights: * Material: Tinned copper with blackened silver finish * Technique: Hand-engraved and repoussé (Ghalamzani / Qalamzani) * Motifs: Intricate floral vines, arabesques, Islamic geometry, and mythological scenes. * Base: Beautifully detailed brass with Mughal-style engravings Dimensions: * Total Height (with lid): approx. 18.5" * Width: approx. 7.5" * Lid Height: approx. 9" * Mouth Opening: approx. 2.75" This antique Persian vessel...

A quite wonderful, intricately crafted, evocative Tsuba - Japanese sword hand guard often circular, sometimes square, which emerged as an essential part of Japanese sword craftsmanship during the Heian period (794–1185). Initially crafted from iron or bronze, over time they became more decorative in nature and more for show as the waring Samurai clans disbanded and became part of Japan's past. The particular Tsuba features a traditional wave design - a classic motif made popular by renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai's famous image "The Great Wave off Kanagawa (Under the Wave off Kanagawa (Kanagawa oki nami ura)." The use of copper or brass highlights, dark rich patina and expert craftsmanship makes this quite an appealing work. The piece is likely from the Meiji Period (1868-1912) but could also be from the late Edo Period (1603-1868). A relatively large work, this Tsuba has a great feel to it. Would be a great addition to any Tsuba or Japanese Asian sword...

The hieroglyphical signature of the artist is in the lower right. The rims and the backside are decorated with floral ornaments. Blue and black color palette. Collectible Oriental Decor And Applied Arts For Interior Design. Namikawa Sosuke (1847–1910) was a Japanese cloisonné artist,[1] known for innovations that developed cloisonné enamel into an artistic medium sharing many features with paintings.[2][3] He and Namikawa Yasuyuki (no relation)[notes 1] were the most famous cloisonné artists of the 1890 to 1910 period, known as the "golden age" of Japanese enamels.[1] Around 1880 he set up and ran the Tokyo branch of the Nagoya Cloisonné Company.[1] He exhibited his artworks at national and international expositions, where he took an organising role.[2] He was recognised as an Imperial Household Artist and created art works for imperial residences. He sometimes signed his works with the character sakigake (Pioneer) the art work is based off a art work done by Sesshu Toyo Sesshu Toyo (?? ??, c. 1420 – August 26, 1506), also known simply as Sesshu (??), was a Japanese Zen monk and painter who is considered a great master of Japanese ink painting. Initially inspired by Chinese landscapes, Sesshu's work holds a distinctively Japanese style that reflects Zen Buddhist aesthetics.[1] His prominent work captured images of landscapes, portraits, and birds and flowers paintings, infused with Zen Buddhist beliefs, flattened perspective, and emphatic lines.[2] Sesshu was born into the samurai Oda family (???) and trained at Shokoku-ji temple in Kyoto, Japan, as a Zen monk.[1] From his early childhood, Sesshu showed a talent for painting and eventually became widely revered throughout Japan as a wise, reputable Zen scholar, and the greatest painter priest of Zen-Shu.[3] Sesshu worked in a painting atelier whilst training under Tensho Shubun (c. 1418–1463). But upon visiting China, his work betook a distinctive Chinese influence, merging Japanese and Chinese styles to develop his individualistic style of Zen paintings.[3] Sesshu's influence on painting was so wide that many schools of art appointed him their founder.[4] Sesshu's most acclaimed works are Winter Landscape (c. 1470s), Birds and Flowers (1420–1506) and Four Landscape Scrolls...
