Description

Antique Japanese Folding Table, 1940s (SKU 25D-316-2)

Showa-era low folding table with warm, time-softened patina

This antique Japanese low table, or zataku, features a gently rounded rectangular top in a deep chestnut-brown finish that highlights the natural grain of the wood. Its simple silhouette and low stance reflect early 20th-century Showa taste, where everyday furnishings balanced practicality with understated elegance.

Designed to fold flat for easy storage, this vintage Japanese folding table would have been used for shared meals, tea, or writing while seated on tatami. Today, it lends itself beautifully as a coffee table, side table, or display platform, bringing an authentic wabi-sabi presence with visible wear, small marks, and edge rubbing that speak to decades of careful use.

  • Origin: Japan
  • Era: Showa period (c. 1940s)
  • Material: Solid hardwood with stained finish
  • Use: Traditional zataku / low folding table for dining, tea, or display
  • Features: Vintage Japanese folding construction; rounded rectangular top; rich visible grain; warm aged patina with characterful surface wear; low profile ideal for tatami or modern living spaces
  • Dimensions: 29"W x 22"D x 10 1/2"H
  • Condition: Vintage condition with age-appropriate wear, scratches, and edge rubbing; structurally sound

A versatile Showa-era piece that seamlessly bridges traditional Japanese living and contemporary interior design.

As part of our mission to preserve and share Japanese craftsmanship, we offer antiques that were made not just to be admired, but to be used. These pieces were crafted for everyday life, and we honor their purpose by ensuring they can continue to be enjoyed and lived with today.

We use professional studio lighting to highlight the natural character of the wood. As a result, the tone may appear slightly warmer than under natural daylight.

All vintage and antique items are sold as-is. Each piece may exhibit signs of age, including scratches, wear, or minor imperfections. These are not considered defects but natural evidence of the item’s authenticity and age.
