Description

Vintage Japanese Folding Table, 1940s, Showa Era (SKU 25D-101)

Showa-era round folding chabudai with compact, stow-away base

This vintage Japanese folding table features a circular top in warm stained wood, supported by a cleverly engineered square base with hinged legs that tuck neatly underneath. Designed in the practical spirit of the Showa era, it offers the versatility of a traditional chabudai—easily set out for tea, dining, or games, then folded flat and stored against a wall when not in use.

The grain of the timber is clearly visible across both the top and the understructure, giving the piece a natural, understated presence that suits wabi-sabi and mid-century interiors alike. The robust joinery and simple hardware emphasize utility, making this low Japanese table an ideal choice for tatami rooms, compact living spaces, or as a characterful coffee table in a contemporary home.

A practical Showa-era folding table that brings authentic Japanese design and warm timber character to everyday living.

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.
