An exquisitely crafted Japanese hibachi (shichirin), dating from the late Meiji to Taisho period (circa 1890–1920). Fashioned from richly figured Keyaki wood (Japanese Zelkova), the rectangular form houses a metal-lined charcoal basin, traditionally used for heating and boiling water in domestic settings. Surrounding the brazier are multiple drawers with brass handles, thoughtfully arranged to store utensils, fuel, and accessories—balancing utility with aesthetic refinement. The wood displays a deep, warm patina, and the piece is offered in excellent antique condition, with gentle signs of age that enhance its character. This hibachi offers a rare window into pre-modern Japanese daily life, and today serves beautifully as a decorative accent, conversation piece, or repurposed functional object. A compelling choice for collectors, interior stylists, or anyone drawn to craftsmanship with cultural depth.
