About the Item
This wooden frame is crafted from ancient Japanese zelkova wood. It appears to have originally been made as a hearth edge, but was rarely used and stored for a long time. As a result, it is in excellent condition, with no significant warping or distortion, and remains in excellent condition.
The frame is crafted from sturdy, beautifully grained zelkova. The wood's characteristically strong grain stands out against the smooth color, evoking the rich expression of natural materials. Its thickness of approximately 3.5 cm gives it a distinct three-dimensional appearance, creating a rich, nuanced shadow effect when hung on a wall. At approximately 90 cm in both width and height, it is ample enough to create a striking presence in any space.
The simple rectangular shape allows for a variety of items to be displayed in the center, much like a picture frame. Paintings, textiles, and even three-dimensional objects and crafts can all be displayed here, and the frame itself creates a beautiful backdrop, further enhancing the appeal of the displayed items. This versatile art frame blends seamlessly into both traditional Japanese and modern interiors, allowing for versatile use.
Weighing approximately 10.7 kg, it offers a solid and stable feel. It's extremely rare to find a rare zelkova hearth frame in this condition. Use it as an accent piece in your interior or as an exhibition frame.
Dimensions: W90.6cm x H90.8cm x D3.5cm
Weight: 10.7 kg
Product Number: OB304
[Our Social Role]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are a specialized team dealing in antiques and vintage items, comprised of stores based on three distinct brands. While focusing on Japanese items, we also offer a carefully curated selection of attractive goods from around the world—each evoking the culture and history of its country of origin.
Unlike the traditional Japanese antique furniture and art that have been appreciated overseas until now, we shine a light on the tools and furniture that were used for many years in ordinary Japanese homes and farmhouses. These objects have gained a unique charm over time, their beauty deepened by the history accumulated through daily life. In today’s world, however, many of these precious items are discarded during home demolitions. We are committed to reassessing their value and passing them on to future generations.
Drawing from our extensive experience—having seen tens of thousands of items through direct purchases, markets, and auction houses—we carefully select and present only the most captivating pieces. This is something made possible only through the years of knowledge and expertise we have cultivated.
Rather than focusing on the widely known facets of Japanese art and culture, we highlight the subtle beauty born from the everyday life of common people. It is this rediscovered beauty, steeped in history, that we strive to share with the world.
