Antique Japanese Kimono Stand (Ikou) — 1880s, Meiji Era
An Exquisite Display of Elegance and Lacquer Artistry

This rare antique Japanese kimono stand, or ikou, dates back to the 1880s Meiji period and is a stunning embodiment of both function and ornamentation. Traditionally used for displaying ceremonial kimono or fine textiles, this piece elevates any space with its refined silhouette and richly decorated surface.

Crafted from wood and finished in a lustrous black lacquer, the frame is meticulously adorned with hand-painted gold maki-e vine and floral motifs, a testament to the Meiji-era commitment to artisanal excellence. Every inch reveals deliberate craftsmanship—from the graceful curve of the crossbar to the sturdy, delicately patterned feet.

This stand is not merely utilitarian; it is a visual centerpiece designed to honor garments of cultural and personal significance. Whether used in a traditional interior, art collection, or modern gallery, it radiates timeless sophistication.
