Japanese Antique Candle Stick 1800s-1860s / Mingei Object Wabisabi

About the Item

Since ancient times, people have created necessary tools from familiar materials, passed them on, and nurtured a lifestyle culture in order to survive in the severe struggle against nature. Over a long period of time, the tools accumulate a certain flavor and reflect the way of life. The harsher the natural environment and the weaker the human being, the stronger the power of the tool. In today's world, where cheap and disposable products are encouraged, the act of repeatedly modifying and re-creating the things around us opens up a new world. With this philosophy in mind, we carefully select and collect beautiful, powerful, and unique Japanese antiques. This is a very old candlestick. It is from the Edo period (1800s-1860s). The needles are made of iron. It was found in an old house. It is a unique design using tree roots. A very rare item with a wabi-sabi aesthetic. Weight: 100g
