Old Japanese large wooden low table/20th century/sofa table/center table

This wooden low table, known as a fuzukue (writing desk), was made in Japan between the late Edo and Meiji periods (circa 1868-1920). A writing desk is a traditional Japanese piece of furniture, originally a small desk used while sitting on a tatami mat. While primarily used as a practical tool for writing, reading, and writing letters, its dignified presence has led to its current popularity as a decorative table and low table. This writing desk is crafted from Japanese zelkova (keyaki) wood. Zelkova is a precious wood that has long been beloved by the Japanese people and is known for its use in shrine and temple construction. Due to its solid, hard wood with particularly beautiful grain, it is often used for luxury furniture and crafts. The tabletop features the beautiful annual ring pattern, known as "bamboo shoot grain," characteristic of zelkova. Combined with the rich texture borne over time, this wood exudes a quiet, engaging charm. The tabletop is carved from a single piece of wood and shows slight warping, but is generally in very good condition. The legs are simple and sturdy, indicating they have withstood years of use. There's no wobble, making it safe to use in modern living spaces. At just 23cm high, it's perfect for pairing with a sofa or zaisu chair...
