Japanese Antique Large Primitive Coffee Table 1860s-1900s / Mingei Wabisabi
About the Item
Very old Japanese primitive large coffee table.
The furniture is from the Meiji period (1860s-1900s).
It is carved from a large zelkova tree.
It is incredibly dynamic and has great presence.
The annual rings and grain of the zelkova wood are wonderful.
This versatile furniture can be used as a decorative stand.
It is in excellent condition for furniture of this period, with no insect damage.
The table evokes the spirit of wabi-sabi, the Japanese philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection and impermanence.
It is a modest and humble beauty, the beauty of the unconventional, the opposite of vulgarity.
Weight approx. 70 kg.
Since ancient times, people have created and passed down necessary tools from familiar materials to survive in the severe struggle against nature, and have nurtured a lifestyle culture.
By using these objects over a long period of time, they accumulate a flavor and reflect a way of life.
The more severe the natural environment and the weaker we are, the stronger their power becomes.
In today's world, where cheap and disposable products are encouraged, the act of repeatedly re-creating the things around us by modifying them opens up a new world.
With this philosophy in mind, we collect beautiful, powerful, and unique carefully selected antiquities from Japan.
