Fine Samurai Katana Stand with Exquisite Makie Lacquer, Late Edo Period, 19th

About the Item

A refined katana stand from the late Edo period (circa early to mid-19th century), featuring elegant makie (蒔絵) lacquer decoration in gold and black. Crafted to display a samurai’s cherished sword with honor and dignity, this stand exemplifies the sophisticated craftsmanship of the time. The subtle curves and balanced proportions reflect the aesthetics of traditional Japanese weapon furnishings, while the surface is adorned with delicately applied makie motifs—likely botanical or symbolic elements—rendered in fine detail. The stand retains its original black lacquer ground, with expected signs of gentle age and use, enhancing its authenticity and appeal. Such stands were not only functional but also served as an extension of the sword’s symbolic power and the owner’s status. Today, it makes a striking decorative piece for collectors of Japanese arms, lacquerware, or interior design with Asian influence.
