About the Item

This antique cupboard was crafted in the Taisho Era (1912–1926). Made from Japanese cedar, the piece features a warm and inviting texture that has deepened over time, adding to its wabi-sabi charm. The upper and lower sections are stackable, making it easy to transport or rearrange to suit different spaces. The glass doors are fitted with traditional wavy glass, offering a soft, distorted view of the interior while enhancing its nostalgic appeal. The frame-and-panel (kamachi) construction showcases traditional Japanese joinery, with clean lines and understated elegance. With drawers and shelves behind glass, this cupboard serves both as practical storage and a beautiful display piece. It is ideal for showcasing tableware, books, or cherished objects, blending function and aesthetic presence seamlessly. Cleaned and disinfected with a non-toxic solution. The doors and drawers move smoothly. As an antique piece, minor scratches and marks may be present, each adding to its unique charm and the story it tells over time. It has been carefully inspected and remains in excellent antique condition, with natural signs of age that enhance its character. Weight :89.3lbs(40.5kg) Shipping Information We ship from Japan.
