1930s-40s Japanese wabi sabi small writing desk, side table, organic japandi

About the Item

Wooden small writing desk with 2 drawers made of fine quality Sugi Cedar, manufactured circa 1930s to 40s estimate from the style & condition. Suitable size for a side table, it's right weight, easy to move around. Wide & stable enough for display use. This piece is one of the "Ashed" line furnitures of my shop items - bleached with lye made from the hardwood ashes, then re-finished with homemade sheer matte polish mist made of beeswax & linseed oil. Not shiny, but touches are smooth enough. Smooth opening & closing operation for both drawers - the desk's side plates & back plate (around the drawers part) are missing at some time in the past. No functional issues as it is - even look more minimal & simple, but I can fix it with matching Sugi cedar plates for free if needed. Original vintage iron drawer pulls are attached. Height between the floor & the underneath of the desk : 22.36 in (20.15 in to the lower edge of the front decoration board) Drawers inner : w 7.67 in / d 14.96 in / h 2.55 in actual item weight : 14.55 lb (6.6kg) *** We're eco-friendly, organic-oriented vintage wood furniture & fitting seller. Avoiding the harsh chemicals as much as possible, using organic & traditional materials in the whole process, especially cleaning, repaint / refinish. - using non-toxic, eco-friendly method when cleaning & repairing the item - using organic & traditional materials (beeswax, linseed oil, urushi lacquer, persimmon tannin, burnt pine ink, etc) for repainted/re-finished items - repairing the necessary parts for long-lasting use
