About the Item
This vintage desk was crafted in the Early Showa Period '1926-'.
Crafted entirely from solid kihada (Japanese Amur cork tree) wood.
Featuring a sleek black finish and a minimalist design, this piece brings a stylish and refined presence to any space. The simple silhouette and lack of decorative elements highlight its modern aesthetic while maintaining practical functionality.
Its shallow depth and slim form make it easy to incorporate into compact interiors. In addition to serving as a desk, it works beautifully as a counter table in a shop or café setting. Placed against a wall, it can also function as an attractive workspace or display surface.
As a vintage piece, minor scratches and marks may be present, each adding to its unique charm and the story it tells over time.
Cleaned and disinfected with non-toxic solution.
The drawers move smoothly.
We have conducted a meticulous check for any broken or damaged areas, and the result is absolutely problem-free. It is in excellent condition.
The interior dimensions of the drawers are as follows (in inches, with centimeters in parentheses):
W16.2" × D13.0" × H2.6" (41.2 cm × 33.0 cm × 6.5 cm)
Weight :35.4lbs(16.1kg)
