Description

Vintage Japanese Folding Table, 1940s, Showa Era (SKU 25D-284)

Warm Showa-era round chabudai with richly grained hardwood top and folding legs

This vintage Japanese folding table, or chabudai, dates from the mid-Showa period and features a beautifully aged circular top in a deep reddish-brown tone. The joined hardwood planks display lively, straight grain and occasional cathedral figuring, giving the surface a quietly dynamic presence that suits both traditional tatami rooms and modern interiors.

Designed to fold flat for easy storage, this low table was likely used for family meals, tea, or casual gatherings. The simple, slightly tapered legs and rounded edge profile emphasize function and comfort, while the honest patina, light abrasions, and small marks from decades of use add character without compromising stability. A versatile Showa-era piece that brings authentic Japanese warmth to any living space.

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.
