Antique Wooden Drawer Covered with Japanese Bamboo and Rush / 1868-1920

About the Item

This is a special wooden drawer made between the Meiji and Taisho periods (1868-1920). Were you storing long tools? I don't know how it was used. In addition, the surface is covered with mats woven from rush grass, and the corners are protected with bamboo. It's a very interesting design. I don't know why they used bamboo and rush. It is a special drawer with many mysteries, but it is very cool. We recommend using it as a center table or display stand. Even in Japan, it is difficult to obtain such wonderful things. I don't think I'll be able to get the same thing in the future. Very rare. Highly recommended! Weight: 11.55kg.

  • Japanese Old Wooden Box 1868-1900 / Antique Storage Sofa Table Coffee Table Side
    Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
    The wooden box made from the Meiji period to the Taisho period (1868-1900). The wooden box made by combining simple cedar boards. I think it was a box that contained some tools. For many years, soot from the hearth and other parts stuck together and accumulated, resulting in such a black appearance. Don't worry, this soot won't stick to your hands if you touch it. It has a very beautiful black color overall and a simple shape. Good condition. It is a nice wooden box that makes you feel very wabisabi. It is also nice to use as a table or exhibition stand. Things like this are not everywhere. It's rare. Also, in Japan, such things are becoming less and less common. We believe that it is our mission to convey the charm of such old things and keep them. There are few stores that sell such items at 1st dibs. We sell with...
