Vintage Japanese Round Lacquered Wood Mirror with Beveled Glass, Mid-Showa 1946-1965 | SKU: 26J-0581

A richly lacquered circular mirror with beveled glass and original chain hanger -- mid-century Japanese craftsmanship at its most quietly elegant.

A kagami (mirror) of this circular form was a staple of postwar Japanese domestic interiors, found in dressing rooms, entryways, and traditional bedrooms throughout the mid-Showa era. This example features a smoothly turned wooden frame finished in a deep reddish-brown lacquer, its surface revealing a subtly pitted, burl-like wood texture that adds warmth and character. The closely fitted beveled glass sits flush within the frame, its ground edge catching light along the perimeter. Metal hanging rings and an original link chain are mounted at the frame edge, ready to hang. The back panel shows the natural wood grain in rich, straight-flowing lines -- a detail consistent with Japanese hardwood construction of this period. This is the kind of vintage Japanese decorative mirror that collectors of Japanese vintage furniture and mid-century Asian design seek out for its honest simplicity.

In a modern home, this compact round mirror brings an immediate wabi-sabi aesthetic to any wall. Hang it in a bedroom as a dressing mirror or vanity accent, place it in an entryway for a warm, welcoming focal point, or lean it against a shelf in a home office or living room as part of a curated Japandi-style vignette. Its warm lacquer tone pairs beautifully with natural linen, dried botanicals, raw plaster, and aged wood -- the exact styling seen in the product images. A thoughtful housewarming gift or a distinctive find for collectors of vintage Japanese craft and mid-century decor.

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.
