C1900 Antique Japanese Low Bench / Writing Table, Meiji Period

£580.00

A beautifully weathered antique Japanese low bench or table, dating from Meiji Era (1868-1912) Constructed with a long, narrow timber top and traditional trestle-style supports, this simple utilitarian piece reflects the practical character of late 19th-century Japanese furniture. Pieces of this form were used in a variety of settings and may have served as low tables, benches, or work surfaces.

Materials

Constructed from nicely aged Japanese light soft timber Cedar with a thick, naturally aged top and traditional wooden joinery throughout. The timber retains a deep, warm patina, with pronounced grain, natural variation, and the marks of prolonged handling and use. The simple trestle construction is reinforced by angled wooden supports beneath the top.

 

※ATTENTION

WHILE WE MAY WANT TO USE IT AS A BENCH OR TABLE, ITS SOFT WOOD CONSTRUCTION MAKES IT SUITABLE ONLY AS A TABLE, NOT FOR SEATING.

 

Dimensions

HEIGHT: 23.4 CM / 9.21''
WIDTH: 182.0 CM / 71.65''
DEPTH: 29.2 CM / 11.49

BENCH THICKNESS: 1.6 CM / 0.62''

 

Condition & Antique Character

The bench retains a heavily aged and weathered appearance, with extensive surface rubbing, scratches, dents, tool marks, natural timber checks, and variations in colour across the top and supporting structure. The edges and corners show considerable wear consistent with prolonged practical use.

The timber has developed a deep natural patina over time, with areas of surface staining and historic marks adding to its character. Minor splits, gaps, old repairs, edge losses, and other age-related imperfections may be present.

The simple construction and worn surface give the piece a distinctly rustic, utilitarian character. It has not been overly restored and retains the appearance of an original working piece of late 19th-century Japanese furniture. Please examine the photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.
