About the Item
This item is a stately Wabisabi wooden low table with a wooden box from the end of the Edo period to the Meiji period (1800-1912) in Japan as the table base, combined with an old oak board from the Meiji and Taisho periods (1868-1927).
The wooden box used as the table base is made of cedar wood and has a jet-black color. The depth of the wood has been beautifully revealed over the years of use, showing the depth of the wood as it has aged. In particular, the iron fittings found in places give a sense of the history of its use and create an elegant atmosphere.
The top panel is characterized by its dry, rough grain, and the texture created by the passage of time is very attractive. Probably because it was used under eaves or in places where the humidity fluctuates, the surface feels slightly uneven in accordance with the grain of the wood, revealing a more three-dimensional feel. This also creates a unique flavor.
The top is slightly twisted, but this is not a problem in use. There is some rattling, but if this is a concern, a urethane sponge or rubber can be inserted between the gap between the table base and top to further stabilize it.
The unique shape and deep texture of this low table allows you to enjoy its timeless beauty, which you cannot find in other new furniture. It blends beautifully with both modern and Japanese interiors, creating a warm and calming atmosphere. Since such items are hard to find, we highly recommend this gem.
Size: W118-125.6cm x D59-60.5cm x H40cm
Top board thickness: 3.5cm
Weight: 14.3kg (top board), 9.35kg (table base)
[We are a specialized team dealing in antiques and vintage items, comprised of stores based on three distinct brands. While focusing on Japanese items, we also offer a carefully curated selection of attractive goods from around the world—each evoking the culture and history of its country of origin.
Unlike the traditional Japanese antique furniture and art that have been appreciated overseas until now, we shine a light on the tools and furniture that were used for many years in ordinary Japanese homes and farmhouses. These objects have gained a unique charm over time, their beauty deepened by the history accumulated through daily life. In today’s world, however, many of these precious items are discarded during home demolitions. We are committed to reassessing their value and passing them on to future generations.
Drawing from our extensive experience—having seen tens of thousands of items through direct purchases, markets, and auction houses—we carefully select and present only the most captivating pieces. This is something made possible only through the years of knowledge and expertise we have cultivated.
Rather than focusing on the widely known facets of Japanese art and culture, we highlight the subtle beauty born from the everyday life of common people. It is this rediscovered beauty, steeped in history, that we strive to share with the world.]
