About the Item

This vintage bookcase was crafted in the Early Showa Period '1926-'. A bookstand with drawers, crafted from Japanese cedar wood. Its simple and minimal design combines a book storage section with drawers, making it perfect for organizing small items and stationery. The interior dimensions of the bookstand section are 29cm (11.4 inches) in height and 22.5cm (8.9 inches). As a vintage piece, it carries the unique charm of aged wood, with a warmth and character developed over time. The natural grain of the cedar wood and its patina give this bookstand a distinctive presence that enhances any space. With its minimal design and functional features, it fits seamlessly on desks or shelves and can also be used as a decorative display shelf. As a vintage piece, minor scratches and marks may be present, each adding to its unique charm and the story it tells over time. Cleaned and disinfected with non-toxic solution. The drawers moves smoothly. We have conducted a meticulous check for any broken or damaged areas, and the result is absolutely problem-free. It is in excellent condition.
