Antique Japanese Iko Kimono Rack, Meiji 1868-1912 | SKU: 26J-0761

A compact lacquered iko with fine gold scroll and fan motifs, designed for displaying or airing kimono and textiles.

This antique Japanese iko is a small freestanding kimono rack with a restrained, elegant silhouette. The form consists of two upright supports, a straight upper hanging bar, a middle stretcher, and a lower connecting rail, all raised on shaped feet for stability. The surface is finished in black lacquer and decorated throughout with gold swirling karakusa-style scrollwork and fan motifs, giving the piece a refined decorative presence even when not in use. A fitted wooden storage box is also included, and the rack is shown disassembled to store flat inside.

Its compact size makes it especially versatile in a modern interior. Use it to display a folded kimono, haori, obi, scarf, or other favorite textile, or place it on a dresser, chest, or low surface as a sculptural decorative accent. The combination of practical form and detailed lacquer ornament allows it to function equally well as a collector's object and as a display stand for treasured fabrics.
