There are many occasions when I have been asked to find a specific style or type of Netsuke for a valued customer, existing or new. This service is readily undertaken but it should be understood that this can take a while to achieve, particularly when the piece or item required is unusual, rare or already within a private collection.
Contemporary carvers.

Over the last few years the number of new carvers has grown, with many of these well known carvers gaining commissions. As a dealer I have helped a few carvers along the way with help and advice, I am always happy to chat with new carvers and put them in touch with other carvers. Many current day carvers work is in as much in demand as the carvers of the past. Remember though not all new works are regarded as contemporary, while we wholeheartedly support artists we condone those that carve to deceive buyers, by adding superfluous signatures.
If in any doubt ask, even if it’s not from us we would rather you purchased legitimate works than hand over your hard earned on a fake.

We know there is no substitute for actually handling netsuke so please remember we use Denbies wine estate and RHS Wisley for meeting clients having a coffee and handling stock. Just get in touch if you’re in the area to set up a meeting.

INRO
An "Inro" is a traditional Japanese case for holding small objects, suspended from the obi (sash) worn around the waist when wearing a kimono. They are often highly decorated with various materials such as lacquer and various techniques such as maki-e, and are more decorative than other Japanese lacquerware.
