Old Japanese wooden low table/20th century/sofa table

About the Item

This is an old Japanese wooden low table. It was originally used for sewing kimonos and other items, and was a relatively common item in homes in old Japan. However, items with this kind of texture are rare and attract the viewer. The table top is made of pine or cedar, and its texture and deep brown color give it a flavor that comes with many years of aging. In particular, this table is characterized by the fact that the legs and table top are separate, which is very rare because most low tables have the legs and table top integrated. It is shallow at 41 cm in depth and has a long and slender shape. Therefore, when used as a sofa table, it goes very well with modern interiors. It is also the perfect size to place under a TV to store audio equipment, books, etc. There is also a slight twist in the table top, but to prevent this, a thin urethane sheet has been applied to the legs to reduce rattling. This is a product that gives you the texture unique to historic wooden products and the dignity that has been cultivated over time. Weight: Tabletop 11.6kg, Legs 3.45kg [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.]
