Old boards used by Japanese lacquerware craftsmen/1920-1950/Wall hanging board

About the Item

This is a workbench used by lacquerware craftsmen from the end of the Taisho period to the Showa period (1920-1950). When applying lacquer to wooden vessels, they applied the lacquer on their desks. Therefore, this vermilion and black color spreads across the entire table. This board may also have originally had wooden feet. Today, the legs are missing and only the board remains. The contrast between the red and black is beautiful and the uneven surface gives it a three-dimensional feel, making it very attractive. It looks like an abstract painting when hung on the wall. it's very beautiful. No two workbenches used by these lacquerware craftsmen are the same, and each one has a different expression, which is interesting. This is a recommended item. Weight: 1.5kg
