Pair of Framed Solid Burl Wood Panels from a Japanese Tsuitate, Meiji Period

About the Item

A spectacular pair of framed solid burl wood panels, originally part of a traditional Japanese tsuitate (single-panel standing screen), now presented as sculptural wall art. Each panel is crafted from a single slab of natural burl — not veneer — revealing dramatic, organic grain patterns that seem to ripple with movement and depth. Measuring 93 x 99.5 cm including the frame, with a panel thickness of approximately 1 cm, the composition highlights the raw beauty of the wood while honoring its historical origins. The front surface has been gently cleaned to expose the intricate figuring without erasing its aged character. The reverse remains untouched, preserving a rich patina and subtle signs of use from its original function. These panels embody the Japanese aesthetic principles of wabi-sabi — celebrating imperfection, transience, and nature’s artistry. Both refined and raw, they offer a powerful visual statement with exceptional materiality. Ideal for collectors, interior designers, or connoisseurs of Japanese craftsmanship and organic forms.
