Description

A characterful Japanese wooden bear sculpture, hand‑carved from richly stained timber and depicted in mid‑stride. The carving has a wonderfully tactile surface and a warm, developed patina that reflects years of handling and appreciation. It is a charming decorative piece — full of warmth, movement, and the distinctive personality of Japanese folk carving. Light age‑related marks are consistent with its age and only enhance its authenticity.
Originally inspired by Swiss Black Forest carvings, these bears became a celebrated regional craft in Japan, standing today as both cultural artefacts and fine examples of traditional woodcarving.

Here at Sinclair's Antiques and Interiors we do our utmost best to ensure all our items are described and photographed to show any flaws or damage such as shrinkage splits, losses or lifts to veneer, repairs or marks. However, giving the age and the fact that each piece will have had years of polishing to create its own individual character we cannot describe every minor mark separately and therefore recommend you either visit our warehouse or request extra photographs.
