Vintage Japanese Folding Table - 1940s Showa Era (25D-102)

Vintage Japanese Folding Table, 1940s, Showa Era (SKU 25D-102)

Showa-era circular zaisu-height chabudai with rich wood grain and folding legs

This vintage Japanese folding table is a classic low chabudai form, ideal for floor seating in a tatami room or modern living space. The round top showcases beautifully figured wood grain in a warm, reddish-brown tone, giving the piece a quiet presence that harmonizes easily with both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Underneath, sturdy hinged legs fold neatly into a compact profile, allowing the table to be stored flat against a wall or in a tansu when not in use—an ingenious Showa-era solution for small-space living. Light surface marks consistent with age add to its vintage character while preserving a clean, usable top surface.
