A Meiji/Taisho Period Street Vendor Stool, Cedar Timbers. Japan, early 1900s

About the Item

A most probably Meiji/Taisho period street vendor stool, constructed of cedar timbers. Originating from Japan and dating from the early 1900s with handpainted Japanese text characters. Befitting of interiors that blend pieces of different styles and ages and also those that harness the stripped-back, primitive, rustic, wabi-sabi aesthetic that is so on trend currently and embraces and helps us see natural beauty in imperfection. The piece has amazing patina that only time can create. Condition: The piece naturally shows wear commensurate with its age and the practical use it would have once served. Some of the age characteristics are no longer active woodworm, some losses and imperfections - as there are minimal fixings there will be little wobbles and in general please expect the endearing quirks of a piece this age and type. Dimensions: Width: 43 cm / 16.92 inches Depth: 26 cm / 10.23 inches Height: 45 cm / 17.71 inches We offer fast, competitively priced global shipping - please contact us to discuss.
