Antique Japanese Kyodai Dressing Table - 1920s Taisho Era (25D-196-4)

Antique Japanese Kyodai Dressing Table (SKU 25D-196-4)

Taishō-era kansui-dai with oval tilting mirror and stepped storage base

This antique Japanese dressing table, or kyōdai, dates to the early 20th century and showcases the refined simplicity of Taishō-period design. A tall oval mirror rises from a compact, stepped base, its frame and supports crafted from richly grained hardwood with a warm, mellow patina developed over decades of careful use.

Below, a practical arrangement of drawers and platforms provides storage for combs, cosmetics, and personal accessories, making this piece ideal as a tabletop vanity. Delicate openwork motifs along the back panel add a subtle decorative touch, while original metal pulls and hardware complete the authentic period character of this versatile dressing table.
