Vintage Japanese Mirror - 1940s Showa Era (25D-281)

Vintage Japanese Mirror (SKU 25D-281)

Showa-era standing mirror with elegant arched frame and warm burlwood grain

This vintage Japanese standing mirror captures the refined simplicity of early Showa design, pairing a tall arched glass with a beautifully figured wooden frame. The slender uprights rise from sculpted geta-style feet, giving the piece a light, architectural presence that works equally well in a tansu-lined bedroom or a modern minimalist interior.

The frame is finished in a rich burl-like veneer, its swirling grain patterns providing subtle ornament in place of heavy carving. Metal side knobs allow the mirror to tilt within its support, while twin horizontal rails and a solid lower panel ground the composition. A classic example of 1940s Japanese craftsmanship, it offers both practical function and a quietly luxurious Showa-era accent.
