Vintage Japanese Flower Stand - 1970s Showa Era (25D-186)

Vintage Japanese Flower Stand, Showa Era (SKU 25D-186)

Low, sculptural shikidai-style stand with rich burl grain for ikebana or bonsai display.

This vintage Japanese flower stand is crafted in the manner of a low shikidai, its broad rectangular top framed by a subtle raised rim that draws the eye to the swirling burl-like grain. The deep reddish-brown finish highlights the movement of the wood, creating a warm stage for seasonal ikebana, bonsai, or cherished okimono. Gently chamfered corners soften the profile while keeping the surface clean and uncluttered.

Bold scroll legs curl inward at each corner, giving the stand a sense of poised energy typical of mid-Showa decorative furniture. The underside reveals traditional joinery and a consistent finish, attesting to careful workshop production. With its low silhouette and refined lacquer-like sheen, this vintage Japanese flower stand integrates easily into tokonoma, sideboard, or contemporary shelf displays.
