About the Item
A rare pair of Japanese hibachi (charcoal braziers) dating to the Edo period (17th century). The bodies are crafted from paulownia wood (kiri) and richly decorated with maki-e lacquer depicting autumn maple leaves (momiji), enhanced with delicate raden (mother-of-pearl) inlay.
Hibachi of this type were traditionally used for heating and as refined interior furnishings in Japanese residences. The combination of lightweight kiri wood with elaborate lacquer and inlay reflects a sophisticated balance between functionality and decorative elegance characteristic of Edo-period domestic objects.
Both pieces show visible wear, surface abrasions, losses, and patina consistent with age and long-term use. These signs of wear contribute to the historical character of the set and attest to its authenticity.
This matching pair represents an evocative example of Edo-period lacquer craftsmanship and seasonal Japanese aesthetics.
