Maki-E Four-Sided Tea Shelf / Japanese Antique / 18th Century

About the Item

An old tea shelf from around the 18th century with maki-e painted on all four sides. The lacquer work of this product is a delicate artwork, and the composition is beautiful, so you can enjoy all sides. Over time, the wooden parts have been reduced, cracked, and streaked, but the condition of the lacquer work is very good for a tea shelf of this era. We believe that lacquer work alone is worthwhile. It is an item that has been treated with care by Senchado tea masters for a long time as a tea ceremony arrangement and a flower stand.
