Antique Japanese Glass Cabinet (Shodana) — 1920s, Taisho Era (SKU: 25M-C310)

A Window into Japan’s Refined Interiors

This magnificent antique shodana glass cabinet from the Taisho period is a celebration of Japanese refinement and form. With sliding glass doors and adjustable shelves, the upper portion was traditionally used to display cherished ceramics, books, or calligraphy tools. Below, the wooden compartments offered storage for family heirlooms and daily necessities — all within a minimalist, symmetrical structure.

Finished in rich reddish lacquer with simple hardware, this piece bridges practicality with aesthetics. Its architectural proportions make it ideal for both modern interiors and traditional settings, where it becomes not just a cabinet, but a quiet display of harmony and heritage.
