About the Item
This is an exceptional and generously sized antique Japanese hibachi (charcoal brazier) from the Taisho era, a period renowned for its refined blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern elegance. Dated to Taisho 9 (1920), this hibachi is a magnificent example of functional art, crafted from prized Paulownia wood (kiri) and adorned with exquisite decoration.
The piece is distinguished by its lavish Makie (gold lacquer) and Raden (mother-of-pearl inlay) work, which together create a stunning floral design. The motifs showcase the artistic sophistication of the era, with shimmering gold and iridescent shell inlay capturing the delicate beauty of nature. The large 50 cm diameter makes this a particularly impressive specimen, likely used in a well-appointed home or gathering space.
As a central fixture in traditional Japanese interiors, the hibachi provided warmth and served as a focal point for social interaction. This example, with its superior size and opulent decoration, would have been a clear statement of taste and status.
Included with the hibachi is its original wooden storage box, which not only aids in preservation but also further authenticates its age and provenance.
