Description

Vintage Japanese Folding Table, 1940s, Showa Era (SKU 25D-125)

Showa-era circular low table with removable center panel and folding legs

This vintage Japanese folding table is a classic zataku-style piece from the mid-Showa period, designed for floor-seated dining and tea. The warm reddish-brown circular top shows attractive grain and a softly aged patina, contrasted by black-stained legs with a subtle, turned bamboo-like profile.

At the center of the top is a removable square panel, revealing an opening that would traditionally accommodate a compact brazier or kotatsu-style heater, making this a versatile chabudai for multi-season use. Underside brass hardware and folding legs allow the table to collapse flat for easy storage, a hallmark of practical Showa-era design.

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.
